A 26-year-old man was sentenced Monday by the Valence court to 14 months in prison. He had made death threats on social networks against the mayor of Romans-sur-Isère.

Marie-Hélène Thoraval had suffered a wave of harassment after the death in Crépol of Thomas. Thomas was killed in November during a brawl with young people from the Monnaie district, a working-class district of the town. The man convicted on Monday was arrested in December in Montreuil.
