Penny’s venomous feelings for Don are nearly palpable, but in spite of her hard exterior, she seems fragile...
...French city of Angers; for taking part in a child prostitution ring in which 45 children, some as young as six months, were sexually assaulted between 1999 and 2002; in Angers. The four-month trial, the largest pedophile case in the country's history, horrified the nation and cast doubt over the effectiveness of local authorities, who had been monitoring all but two of the families involved.
