Have you seen the faces of the 50 guilty men? Nor have I. I’m talking about the men convicted of raping an unconscious woman. I was expecting to see their faces splashed over the front pages of this morning’s tabloids. Instead, another picture of the brave Gisele.
So I don’t understand why those guilty men have been permitted to hide their modesty. Why has no-one ripped the masks from their faces?
As an armchair criminologist, I want to know the motive behind these crimes. Was it the impotent rage of a cuckolded husband smoldering behind a smiling facade until it erupted like Mount Etna? A man who hated his wife but would rather savour his revenge instead of simply divorcing and moving on with his life? But that doesn’t explain why he upskirted other women. Maybe he just hated women.
And what does a sentence of 20 years imprisonment really mean under French law? Is he going to have to serve every day of that 20 years? Or is it like Britain, where 20 years imprisonment means 10 years. Because that’s when you get automatic release. Let’s hope not. Otherwise, it barely amounts to a month’s imprisonment for each rape. Hardly justice.
