Thierry (the first name has been changed ) was almost pitiful to see at the bar of the Meaux criminal court this Wednesday. Thin, pale, hands flat on the desk, voice unsteady.

But hearing President Stéphane Léger remind him of the reasons for his appearance, the way he looked at him changed. The court didn't care about walks in the forest with his dildos and his appetite for women's swimsuits. He was on trial for sexual exhibition and viewing child pornography images.
