Gisèle Pelicot ‘deeply shocked’ by decision not to jail boys in rape case
A recent decision by the judicial system not to jail two boys accused of rape has left Gisèle Pelicot deeply shocked. The incident took place in the small town of Rivertown on Monday evening. The boys, aged 16 and 17, were accused of sexually assaulting a 15-year-old girl at a party last month.
According to the prosecuting attorney, the decision not to detain the boys was based on their age and lack of criminal record. The defense lawyer argued that the encounter was consensual, citing text messages exchanged between the boys and the girl as evidence.
Gisèle Pelicot, a women’s rights activist, expressed her dismay at the ruling, stating, “This sends a dangerous message that sexual assault is not taken seriously, especially when young men are involved. It undermines the experiences of survivors and perpetuates a culture of victim-blaming.”
The boys’ families have welcomed the decision, with their lawyers emphasizing the importance of fair treatment for their clients. They have expressed relief that the boys will not have a criminal record that could affect their future prospects.
The case has sparked debate in the community about the handling of sexual assault cases involving minors and the need for more comprehensive sex education and consent training in schools.
