Man caught on video punching a woman in the face sentenced to six months in prison

A 25-year-old man caught on camera punching a woman in the face in the streets of Paris last summer was sentenced to six months in prison today for "aggravated violence," according to French media reports.

The man received an additional six months suspended jail term and was ordered to pay $2,300 in damages for attacking engineering student Marie Laguerre, 22, according to reports.

The individual arrested in August, identified by French media only as Firas M., was also ordered by a Paris court today to take a course in gender-related violence.

Nowhere in the world takes gender related violence seriously. He probably would have got a longer sentence if he had punched a man in the face.

Here, the president would say there were good people on both sides of the punch.

So a violent criminal cannot be named in the press? Does this mean his full name does not appear in the court records?

Even so we can draw conclusions to some extent since Firas is an Arabic name.​
