From what I read about the movie, the teacher pays for her actions and the act was considered scandalous
But here she was not punished in any way but rewarded for it😛
This is from Quora
True! The age difference is the same between Trump and his wife and this would not be big deal IF Trogneux had not started dating Macron when he was 15 and she was his 40 years old teacher, AND if she hadn’t gotten away with child sexual abuse because of how rich her family was.
Even though the age of consent is 15 in France, the article 227–25 of the penal code expressly says that if any adult in a position of authority (teacher, cop, physician etc) is caught engaging in a relationship with a minor between the age of 15 and 18 they automatically are sentenced to 3 years in jail and 45,000 euro. This type of offense on her record, Trogneux could have never been a teacher anymore. The statute of limitations for this crime is 10 years after the child reaches 18 and very conveniently, they married right after the said statute expired; he was in his late 20s.
Now bear in mind that this cover-up all happened in the Amiens’ bourgeoisie and that -according to the French Justice Ministry itself- the vast majority of child sexual abuse cases in France takes place in this very region above Paris. Macron’s parents are physician and professor of medicine and Brigitte Trogneux’s parents are rich chocolatiers in this region. Furthermore, the law in France makes it mandatory for anybody that notices this type of issue to report it to the justice system. The Jesuit school should have reported her and apparently never did.
No teacher from a working class origin, would have gotten away with this by being able to silence everybody. This man grew up in the idea that money can buy ANYTHING, including something as horrendous as getting away child sexual abuse. How could both of them be fitted for this office? This makes me so nauseated that I even refrain from watching French TV.
