    That’s true, but “grooming” is a question of morality. it’s a specific term involving people are under the age of consent. It’s not “grooming” just because you find the relationship immoral.

      A 15 year old does not have the mental capacity to understand that they are being groomed. Grooming should be illegal, however it’s tied to the legal precedent set by age of consent laws.

      I can’t believe I’m having this conversation, a 17 year old should not be in a relationship with a 41 year old.

        I have change my mind somewhat since making these comments.

        While Macron was at school they were certainly testing societal boundaries, even if French notions about such things are more relaxed.

        You’re right, if my 15yo daughter was spending time with a 39yo guy I would be murderous.

        However, I’m not French, it’s not the 90s, they’ve been married for 20 years now. By all accounts it’s been fulfilling and satisfying marriage…
