On the offending video, Rayanne B., known on social networks under the name of Rayan_psn, declared in particular: “
There we are, you will see.
Fuck your mother at Blanquer and National Education, you son of a bitch, I stopped the bac
”.
On Tuesday, the young man, 20 years old today, was released from the prosecution of "
contempt
" and "
death threats against a person holding public authority
".
The court recalled that the offense of contempt was constituted if its author had "
had the intention of reaching the person concerned
".
However, Rayanne B. did not “
speak directly to Jean-Michel Blanquer
” but his remarks “
were only made public by posting them online.
“, Underlined the court, seeing there rather facts of”
public insult
“.
But "
given the rules specific to press offenses, no requalification (in public insult) can be considered
", specified the court.
Regarding the death threats, the court found
the explanations of the defendant "
perfectly credible ", who argued that it was a "
rap clip
", after having been able to view "
the entirety
" of the video during the debates.
“
The court cannot consider that these remarks are addressed to Jean-Michel Blanquer
”, declared the president of the room.
“
We are very satisfied that the law was applied today (Tuesday)
“, reacted to AFP the lawyer of Rayanne B., Me Karim Morand-Lahouazi.
