PARIS, Jan 5 (Reuters) – A Paris court on Monday found ten people guilty for the cyber harassment of France’s first lady, Brigitte Macron, in the latest legal action sparked by false claims that she is a transgender woman who was born a man, French media reported.
The eight men and two women, aged 41 to 60, who were tried in a Paris criminal court, had been accused of making malicious comments about Brigitte Macron’s gender and sexuality, including equating her age difference with her husband to “paedophilia”.
