## Reported figures

- 2 arrests
- 63 000 euros

## Coverage angles

All three sides report the same central facts (a 15-year-old teenager forced to prostitute herself with around 900 clients, two suspects charged), with angles varying mainly in framing: a narrative centered on the victim and exploitation on the left, a chronology of the investigation and arrests in the center, emphasis on the suspects' violence and threats on the right.

**Common ground**

- A 15-year-old teenager is alleged to have been forced to prostitute herself with around 900 clients
- The facts are alleged to have taken place between February and May 2026 in the Var and the Alpes-Maritimes
- Two suspects, an adult and a minor, were arrested and charged with aggravated pimping
- The investigation began after the report of the teenager's disappearance in Puget-sur-Argens

**Differences**

- The left qualifies the acts suffered as 'rape' by nearly 900 clients, a term not taken up in right-wing excerpts
- The right explicitly mentions the 'threats and violence' of the two individuals, a detail absent from left-wing excerpts and most center ones
- The center details the procedural chronology (report in May, charges in mid-October, appearance before the Draguignan criminal court), little present on the left and right
