Thousands of cases opened in France for child sexual violence and more and more smoke curtains

More than a month after the 'Lyhanna case' erupted, the battle over communication continues. Gérald Darmanin, the French Minister of Justice, announced on July 15th the results of an urgent review of procedures for sexual abuse cases against minors. The report claims that since June 8th, 1,350 judicial investigations have been opened, representing a +309% increase compared to the same period in 2025. This has led to 675 pre-trial imprisonments, a +173% rise. However, the article highlights that this surge reflects systemic deficiencies within the justice system and underscores Darmanin’s political responsibility, along with Interior Minister Laurent Nuñez. Legal professionals criticize the rushed process as a joke and a lack of respect, while the review reveals alarming findings.
