## Coverage angles

All sides cover the same facts (a 15-year-old adolescent forced into prostitution, approximately 900 clients, two suspects placed under formal investigation), with variations in angle focusing on vocabulary (network, drama, human trafficking) and highlighted elements (financial aspect, judicial procedure, threats and violence).

**Common ground**

- A 15-year-old adolescent was forced to prostitute herself between February and May 2026 in the Var and Alpes-Maritimes
- Approximately 900 clients are mentioned
- Two people, including a minor, were arrested and then placed under formal investigation for aggravated pimping and human trafficking
- The investigation was opened after the disappearance of the adolescent and entrusted to the Draguignan gendarmes

**Differences**

- The left describes the acts as rapes suffered by the victim, a term not used verbatim by the other sides
- The center details the amounts collected (63,000 euros) and the daily financial objective, an element less present on the right
- The right focuses on the threats and violence exerted by the suspects, an angle less developed on the left
- The center mentions an appearance before the Draguignan correctional tribunal, an element absent from the other extracts
