Always downplaying the horrors perpetrated by men and insulting the victim: your translation is wrong and the word alledged really shocks me used by this reporter !!
A man reporter saying repeatedly “alledged” in relation to the word “rape” when himself just said the perpetrator admitted on the stand says a lot about the deficit of understanding and hypocrisy in French society and the mainstream media
Did they put a paper bag over her head??
why isn't the husband charged with trying to poison/murd3r his wife ? he was making her so sick that she was going to the doctor and he KEPT giving her more drugs even when he could see he was making her sick. why isn't he charged with drug dealing ? he was handing out drugs to other men so they could do the same to their wives.
she did not say that her husband chose the depths of the human soul. the translation should have been that her husband chose the most base of the human soul.
Less of this 'grandmother' nonsense. She's a grandmother, yes, but she is also many other things.
These people connected to her husband on the website named “without her consent”. They knew.
why is he not charged with sex trafficking his wife? Not just rape.
