The case sparked criticism about the way victims of sexual abuse are treated by police in France. During the hearing, the court was to asked consider that the officer made the insults to himself or to his colleagues, and that they were not aimed directly at the woman. It was requested that the officer be acquitted or be given an exemption due to his previous exemplary record. A female judge ruled that the comments had not amounted to a sexist insult and acquitted the officer.The woman’s lawyer, Arie Alimi, told the AFP news agency that her client would appeal.”The judiciary continues to protect police officers,” she said.The officer, who was suspended for four months and then transferred, apologised to the woman during the trail – saying he was “really sorry” she heard the “unfortunate comments”.He also said that he had to beg Interior Minister Gérald Darmanin to keep his job.Mr Darmanin was among those to express outrage over the case, saying at the time it came to light that the officer no longer had a place in the police.He told the Europe 1 radio station in February 2022 that the man had “smeared all the women who try to file a complaint, when it is in our best interest to tell them to come to the police stations to do so”.Mr Darmanin also said the officer had also “dirtied and spat on the uniform of the Republic and his 250,000 other police and gendarme colleagues”. The woman’s original assault complaint is being investigated, French media group bfmtv reported.Related TopicsEuropeFranceParisMore on this storyFeminists criticise Macron over defence of DepardieuPublished21 December 2023Ex-models demand change over French sex abuse lawsPublished15 September 2021Top StoriesFamilies’ anger as triple killer gets hospital orderPublished49 minutes agoWatch: Killer’s rampage and arrest caught on camera.

This was the first treason trial in Ghana since 1966 when post-independence leader Kwame Nkrumah was overthrown. The six were arrested in 2021 while testing weapons in the capital, Accra, to allegedly topple the government. The group, including a gunsmith, pleaded not guilty during a trial that captured the attention of the nation. Defence lawyers said they would appeal against the ruling in the Supreme Court. Three other people, including a senior police officer and two military officers, were acquitted.There was a heavy security deployment outside the High Court in Accra during the sentencing on Wednesday.The court found the six guilty of high treason and conspiracy to commit high treason.The men were arrested with locally manufactured guns, improvised explosive devices and AK-47 rifles, according to court documents. State prosecutors said the group had planned to organise protests, ostensibly to topple President Nana Akufo-Addo’s government ahead of the 2020 general elections. The court said it found the evidence against the men, including intercepted communications and testimonies, compelling. Attorney General Godfred Yeboah Dame, who led the prosecution, praised the court verdict as “significant”. “The constitution of Ghana as the fundamental law of the country, which has sustained the stability of the nation, frowns seriously upon any attempt to overthrow a government and that is why that offence [treason] is punishable by death,” Mr Dame said. Ghana had last carried out an execution in 1992 when it returned to democratic rule.Last year lawmakers last year voted to abolish the death penalty for ordinary crimes, replacing it with a life sentence.
