What could be done?

ANGERS, France (AP) -- A French court on Wednesday sentenced key figures in a mass pedophilia trial to up to 28 years in jail.

In the harrowing case, prosecutors said 45 children between the ages of 6 months and 14 years were raped and abused by their parents, grandparents or acquaintances in a working-class neighborhood of Angers from 1999 to 2002 -- at times in exchange for small amounts of money, food, alcohol or cigarettes.

Franck V. was accused of allowing much of the abuse to occur at his apartment in the western city of Angers. In total, 65 people have been charged with molesting, raping and prostituting infants and children.
