TIL that this *wasn't* previously outlawed in France as in most other developed countries.

To be clear, sexual relationships between adults and children aged under 15 were not legal before.
For a consensual relationship it was punished by up to 7 years of imprisonment.


What this new law says is that a child aged under 15 can't consent to such relationship so it will be a rape, and up to 20 years of imprisonment.

Yes, most people realised that much I think.

The difference is that most countries have treated it as statutory rape for some time now.
