Three French teens sentenced to prison for 2020 gang rape after victim’s mother preserved DNA evidence.
A French court sentenced three young men to prison for a 2020 gang rape in Champigny-sur-Marne, after the victim’s mother preserved her clothing in a plastic bag for a year, enabling DNA evidence collection.
The 18-year-old, visiting Paris, said she was assaulted by eight men, most masked, with several raping her while others watched.
Two defendants, 15 at the time, received 10-year sentences; a third was given six years for complicity.
Three others will face trial.
The case underscores the low reporting rate of sexual violence in France, where only 7% of victims file complaints, and highlights how evidence preservation can lead to convictions.
