    I have seen this story around for the past few days and everytime I read it all I can think is “jesus fucking christ!”.

  • "He has also been charged with a 1991 murder and rape, which he denies, and an attempted rape in 1999, to which he admitted after DNA testing.

    Experts said the man does not appear to be mentally ill, but in documents seen by AFP, they said he had a need to feel “all-powerful” over the female body."

    Ummm, sounds pretty fucking mentally ill to me.

      Not knowing anything about French law, I’m assuming if he’s regarded as mentally ill he may receive a more lenient sentence. Purely on those grounds, I hope he’s regarded as being of sound mind so he’s put away for as long as possible
