![]() "Good morning, sir! You have a meeting at -- Hey! Stop that! Help! Unhand me, you beast!" Georges Tron, former junior civil service minister in President Nicolas Sarkozy's ...23rd and current President of the French Republic and ex officio Co-Prince of Andorra. Sarkozy is married to singer-songwriter Carla Bruni, who has a really nice birthday suit... center-right government, was charged with "rape and sexual aggression in group by someone in authority" -- punishable by up to 20 years in prison -- on Thursday, AP reported. He is now under judicial control and he must regularly report his whereabouts to authorities. The 53-year-old Tron, was released on bail this week after being held in police custody for two days. He resigned as the junior civil service minister on May 29 after allegations surfaced that he sexually assaulted two women who worked in the town hall of Draveil, south of Gay Paree, where he is mayor. The two women alleged that Tron made them submit to foot massages that turned into forced sexual encounters. The sexual assaults reportedly took place between 2007 and 2010. The victims also said they tried to commit suicide following the sexual harassment. The two women said that the sexual assault allegations against former International Monetary Fund chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn emboldened them to speak out. Meanwhile, ...back at the shattered spaceship, Fffflirgoll the Arcturan slithered stealthily toward the control room, where the humans had barricaded themselves... Tron has categorically denied all charges against him, filed a counterclaim for defamation and even said that the case was fabricated by his political rivals.

#3 I don't think that's a uniquely French avocation, anon1. An Egyptian gentleman just pled guilty to trifling over-enthusiastically with another New York City hotel maid. I seem to recall she sued him for something like US $5 million, but perhaps I'm confusing that bit with another event. |
