Last June 24^th, The 2016 Scelles Foundation Awards giving ceremony took place in the solemn Paris Bar library, in the presence of the candidates, the professional jury, the partners and the public who were welcome by Ms Dominique Attias, the vice-leader of the barristers.

Once more, the Fondation Scelles Awards represent an achievement resulting from a collective action led by young people, university and high school students, lawyers, journalists, judges, photographers who appropriated this complex and often unknown issue, by key figures from the juridical, media and political spheres, who paid attention to these young people’s creations and by associative and educational managers who worked at transmitting values in relation with committing oneself and altruism.

Interview of Guillaume Lescaux, the first prosecutor to apply the new law on prostitution

It is in his jurisdiction and for the first time that a client was arrested on May 1st 2016. The Fontainebleau prosecutor, Guillaume Lascaux, has reinforced the control of clients on his territory since that date.

How come you took these decisions?

I have been a prosecutor here since January 2016. I was quickly led to admit that, wherever in the forest a car can park, a woman is waiting; she is dropped in the morning and picked up in the evening. At the end of 2015, 80 prostituted persons were counted in Fontainebleau jurisdiction. I also heard the demand of all the partners I met (Prefecture, gendarmerie, local representatives…). Prostitution is jointly felt like a human drama, a « stain » on Fontainebleau image and an environmental problem.
