Lyhanna case makes sexual abuse of minors a 'priority' in France: 1,350 cases reopened and 675 arrested since June

The murder of Lyhanna, an 11-year-old girl who was kidnapped and allegedly raped by a man previously reported for sexually abusing other minors, has sparked significant outrage in France. The case exposed systemic failures in the French justice system regarding handling reports of sexual violence against children. Justice Minister Gérald Darmanin, facing calls for his resignation, instructed prosecutors to review 70,000 cases involving minors that had not been properly followed up. By July 14, five weeks after the directive, prosecutors had reopened 1,350 investigations and ordered preventive detention for 675 individuals suspected of child sexual abuse.
