Caen court on alert over child sexual abuse
According to Google News FR — Crime (fr), the Caen court is preparing to handle what judicial actors describe as "a tsunami of proceedings" linked to child sexual abuse.
Magistrates and justice professionals have described child sexual abuse as "mass crime", emphasising the systemic scale of the phenomenon and the mounting pressure it is placing on French courts.
The Normandy court anticipates a considerable influx of cases, although precise figures have not been communicated at this stage. This situation reflects a national trend: French prosecutors' offices are facing a multiplication of reports and prosecutions in this area.
Local judicial authorities are organising themselves to cope with this exceptional procedural workload, in a context where combating sexual offences against minors constitutes an explicit priority of criminal policy in France.
