France's highest court have ruled that firefighters will not be tried for rape of a girl during a two-year period beginning in 2008, when she was 13 years old. It all began when a firefighter helped her when she had an anxiety attack in 2008. He than began to groom her, and introduced het to his colleagues. Three of them have admitted to having sex with her, but claims in was consensual (she was 13 - 15 years old!!). 17 others haven't been charges.
The court ruled the three men would not be tried for rape, only for "sexual assault without violence, constraint, threat or surprise".
