A man in France has been given a 300‑euro fine for sexual aggression under a new law against street harassment.
He slapped a woman's bottom on a bus near Paris, and made lewd remarks about her appearance.
The fine is the first imposed under the legislation aimed at deterring predatory remarks and harassment such as wolf‑whistles.
The law, passed in August, allows for on‑the‑spot fines of up to 750 euros.
The man, who was drunk when he boarded the bus smacked the 21‑year‑old woman, and made insulting comments about her and her breasts.
