    I searched her Wikipedia page and she seems cool as hell, but no mention of prisoners rights advocacy.

    It's not that. She supported Gerard Depardeau. It was a controversy about sexual assault in the French film industry. There's a bunch of articles covering it.

      20 years for 299 victims. That's just over three weeks per victim.

      Although...

      Le Scouarnec, 74, has been dubbed France's most prolific paedophile. He is already in jail after being sentenced in 2020 to 15 years for raping and sexually assaulting four children, including two of his nieces.

      He'll probably die in jail, so .. there's that.

        EWW!!! Thanks for the context. I did not see that in my skimming.

        Although personally I do believe in upholding certain basic rights for all people, criminal or no.

          Does France have the concept of a "violent offender" or medical detention? You basically hold someone indefinitely, routinely assessing if they can be released.

          Apparently: https://fr.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rétention_de_sûreté_en_France

          In French criminal law, “rétention de sûreté” is a procedure for placing prisoners who have served their sentence, but who present a very high risk of reoffending because they generally suffer from a serious personality disorder, in a socio-medico-judicial security center. This measure is limited to convictions for the most serious crimes, in particular sex crimes, and must be expressly provided for in the sentencing decision

          Translated with DeepL

          I couldn't find an English source, even the English wiki article on preventive detention doesn't list France.

            ...don't we all? It's one thing to support basic human decency without going out of your way to defend a clearly predatory industry or person, as she did. As the lack of oversight here allowed this individual to rape 300 people.

              She's a feminist and animal rights activist, yes. She is also pretty islamophobic and racist, also noted on the wiki page.

              Guess I'm bad at reading. Seems worthy of a " controversies " section at that point…

                Thanks. The incongruity between en and fr Wikipedia is sometimes frustrating.

                  20 years is the maximum sentence in France

                  If absolutely is not. 30 years is possible, and en perpétuité (forever) in very rare cases.

                      It depends on the offense. Not all offenses have the same maximum.

                          All I know about French prisons I learned from reading Catch Me If You Can. If that's any sort of accurate, he's gonna have a bad time.

                          The only real con he pulled was getting people to believe his stories.

                            In most western democracies sentences are served in parallel, not consecutively. The US is one of a few crazy places where people get sentences like 3.000+ years, or 161 life sentences.

                            In the US, prison sentences can be consecutive or concurrent. It's up to each sentencing (as provided for by law).

                                Im not usually a proponent of capital punishment, but there's a special place in hell for this man.

                                Well can we seriously assume this man has eternal punishment in hell waiting for him?

                                If not we should make his time here confronting and uncomfortable, constantly reminding him off his sins.

                                You must be very certain that death is not a quick release of pain and suffering in order to wish it upon these kind of people.

                                  Can somebody explain why every article about this is coupled with a drawing instead of, for example, the face of the piece of shit, or one of those random stock pictures that are often used for similar articles?

                                  Because justice isn't a show. Trials are off limits to photographers. For good reason imo.
