France are to consider lowering the age of consent to as low as 11-years-old as the government draft a controversial new bill dealing with ‘sexual coercion.’

Is an 11-year-old girl old enough to agree to sex with an adult? That’s the question French ministers are seriously considering, amid total outrage and revulsion by members of the public.

ABC News reports:

Twice in recent weeks, French courts refused to prosecute grown men for rape after they had sex with 11-year-olds because authorities couldn’t prove coercion.

Amid public horror, the government is drafting a bill to say sex with children under a certain age is by definition coercive.

Feminist groups plan a protest Tuesday to argue the age should be set at 15. Justice Minister Nicole Belloubet says 13 “is worth considering.”

The age is just one piece of an upcoming bill on sexual violence and harassment.

The bill has gained importance amid worldwide concern unleashed by the allegations against Harvey Weinstein.

Viral Message Verification:-  The news was published on site yournewswire.com is a spam and there is no iota of truth.

Currently In France it is illegal to have with someone under 15, but the prosecutors have to prove that the sex is non-consensual. In France there no such law of having sex or you can say there is no minimum age.  Now the minister of france Marlene Schiappa wants a legal minimum age set at between 13 and 15-years-old. The law will mean that ‘below a certain age, there can be no debate, ever, on the sexual consent of a child, and that any child below a certain age would automatically be considered as raped or sexually assaulted.

Hence the article published by yournewswire is totally wrong; it has just misinterpreted the news going on in France to carry out its own fabricated story.
