(Jerusalem Post) One of two French Muslim teenagers found guilty of raping a 12-year-old Jewish girl in 2024 has had his sentence commuted on account of the “need to prepare for future reintegration.”
The original sentences were handed down on June 15, 2025. The two boys were given seven- and nine-year prison sentences, respectively, for their participation in the gang rape of a minor under the age of 15 on the basis of religion. The two were 13 at the time of the incident; a third boy involved in the incident was below the age of criminal responsibility (12) and therefore could not receive a prison sentence. He was instead sentenced to five years in an educational facility.
However, on November 18, the Versailles Court of Appeal retried the boy with the greater sentence behind closed doors, ultimately reducing his sentence to seven years from nine.
