Outrage at French mayor convicted of rape still running town from cell

Georges Tron, a former junior minister under Nicolas Sarkozy, has refused to give up job as mayor of Draveil

Feminist groups have expressed outrage that a French mayor jailed for rape is still being allowed to run his town from his prison cell.

Georges Tron, who once served as a junior minister under Nicolas Sarkozy, was jailed in February for the rape and sexual assault of a junior staff member at his town hall in Draveil, south of Paris.
