First Street Sexual Harassment Fine Imposed in France
A man in France has been given a 300-euro (£270) fine for sexual aggression under a new law against street harassment.
He slapped a woman's buttock on a bus near Paris, and made lewd remarks about her appearance.
The man, who was drunk when he boarded the bus in Draveil, Essonne, south of Paris, smacked the 21-year-old woman, and made insulting comments about her and her breasts.
The man, 31, has also been sentenced to three months in prison for what the judge ruled was an outright case of sexual aggression against the woman, and the attack on the driver.
The minister behind the legislation, Marlene Schiappa, hailed the court decision in a tweet, saying: "Well done to the bus driver for his quick reaction, and for the penalty imposed."
