Women cleared of defamation in French sexual misconduct case, as court orders a former lawmaker to pay 1,000 euros in damages to each of the 12 people he sued.
FILE - In this Sept. 21, 2014 file photo, Denis Baupin, a prominent Green Party member and former Paris city official, takes part in a climate change demonstration in Paris. A French court ruled Friday April 19, 20119 that six women who accused the former French lawmaker of sexual misconduct and two journalists who reported the allegations were not guilty of defamation.
The court considered that the women and journalists acted in good faith, which is a defense for defamation under French law. Four filed criminal complaints for sexual harassment at the time. A nine-month judicial investigation ended without charges. Prosecutors said the three-year statute of limitations had expired, but released a statement saying the womens measured, constant statements and witness corroboration created a set of facts to support allegations of actions that may for some of them be classified as criminal.
