On Nov. 7, a 30-year-old French man was acquitted of rape after a jury found no evidence that he had forced an 11-year-old into having sex. The jurors ruled that the elements that constitute rape such as "coercion, threat, violence and surprise were not established," since the girl had followed him willingly.
