Catherine Field: France Correspondent on Paris courts finding ten people guilty of cyberbullying Brigitte Macron
from Holiday Breakfast · host Newstalk ZB
A Paris court has found 10 people guilty of cyberbullying France's first lady Brigitte Macron with false online claims about her gender and sexuality. Their sentences range from cyberbullying awareness training to eight-month suspended prison sentences. Some of their posts suggested Macron was transgender, born a man, and were viewed tens of thousands of times. Some linked her 24-year age gap with her husband Emmanuel Macron to paedophilia. France Correspondent Catherine Field told Andrew Dickens that among the guilty are an elected official, a school teacher, and a woman who described herself as “a medium”.
