38 comments

1. Not surprised. The country that protects and adores Roman Polanski

2. I dont believe her, just another Amber Heard

3. 5 years for a trauma that last a lifetime… does't seem fair 😢

4. Only FIVE YEARS for a sentence, if convicted???!! France (the whole world, really) needs to lock these predators up for life! She is very brave for coming forward though she should not have to be retraumatised through the court system.

5. But she was fine with it at the time… whatever really happened?

6. This title paints her as 'an unreasonably angry' woman. She left that room in anguish. That should be the title.

7. Another slimestien

8. It pains for seeing adele stuggled for her justice againsit her abuser

9. It is so hard to watch her at the start of the video, I hope she stays strong.

10. France clearly has a sentencing problem

11. Just to be clear : during his testimony, Ruggia had the audacity to say that Adèle was "initiating it" and "trying to seduce him". She was 12. How vile, how low can you get ? Pig.

12. It must be hard for her to face this person again, all nightmares must rush back, it must be hard also because she is in this country which loves Polanski.

13. A slap on the wrist.

14. House arrest? Are you kidding?

15. Another predator on the loose….

16. Why have the video not named christoff riggia. The algorithm should name the perpetrator.

17. Sexual assault in a world where men feel entitled to anything and everything they want, make the rules, excuse and titillate each other with stories of what they got away with, how they intimidate someone younger, smaller and with less power. Never protecting a female.
    Never caring that you give your victims nightmares, ruin chances of healthy relationships and living to one’s potential. Why do men just take, never protect, never act civilized?

18. Many governments have a rich history of protecting p3dos, America and the UK are some of the worst offenders. Didn’t know France was up there, too. Sad.

19. We need to keep these predators behind bars. 5 years is not enough.

20. His parents sold him for make movies 😢

21. Bet the french would love Harvey Weinstein, Jeffrey Epstein, and Woody Allen too.

22. FRANCE 24 – you need to know that this video title is inaccurate and misogynistic. The definition of storming out is 'to leave a place in a way that shows you are angry' , for instance by slamming a door. Ms Haenel has calmly walked out, likely because she was feeling overwhelmed and needed a break. This is an important distinction to make.

    Please change the title of this video, and pay closer attention to the language you use in future cases involving victims of abuse. If you do not, then you are causing harm to them, and to other victims of abuse.

23. What a terrible thing he did to that ( at the time ) very young actress , but I have to ask where were her parents ? Also why did the crew say they were uncomfortable watching what happened to her on the set only now , why did no one protect this young actress at the time . I have seen a couple of scenes from the film , and I can’t believe that a parent would stand by and let their daughter do scenes like that , and what about her young co star how is he now.

24. She deserves justice! Cannes and France need to wake up and stop abuse of women and children

25. House arrest? Is there a special punishment scale for "cultured people". What punishment would he have received if he was a taxi driver?

26. So Strange that she decided to wait so many years before to tell

27. The french sure do love their pedos

28. Brava Adele!

29. Not shocking, because somehow the French film industry is even more pedophilic than Hollywood is and the criminals face even less justice. Still sad for her.

30. He should get 25 years.

31. Zzzzzzzzzzzzz

32. France 🇫🇷🤦🏻⚖️… what is happening to based morality in the COUNTRY…the husband that drugs his wife and has friends freely SA her?! The opening vulgar display of the 2024’ OLYMPICS…now this. Praying for the CONSERVATIVE FRENCH PEOPLE. Get this COURT DECISION RIGHT !!

33. "Storms out"?

    Learn and give respect & credit where it's appropriate.

    There's rapists out there screaming terrible things & promoting abusive behavior, that don't even get labeled as such.

    And you're gonna falsely claim this composed adult in an unfavorable position, is "storming out"??
    As if in a disrespectful rage??

    SHAME on you. You're indirectly siding with the rapist. Intolerable.

34. The judicial system around the world is a joke! His sentence isn't enough to punish him by Adèle's lifetime trauma.

    I only hope that Adèle finds peace and justice one day.

35. The whole world is sick this way. Men have build an empire for this with the laws being against the women.

36. Take a life, get life in prison.

37. I hear Roman Polanski is living a full, free life in France. That alone sends a message to all girls in France.

38. 5 Years is a joke! it's an unfair punishment that doesn't send a message of Justice.
