Tens of thousands rally in France for a comprehensive law to fight sexual violence
- Tens of thousands of people demonstrated in several French cities Saturday to protest sexual violence, the latest manifestation of outrage sparked by the rape and killing of an 11-year-old girl.
- The body of the girl, named as Lyhanna, was found last month after she went missing on May 29 in the southwestern town of Fleurance.
- The suspect, a 41-year-old father of a school friend of the victim, had twice before been formally accused of raping a child, but investigations had been dropped or had stalled.
