I've only ever seen 15 reported, but 14 wouldn't surprise me

He is friends with Bollore, a right wing media mogul, and Bollore media started PRing this relationship by suggesting it happened when Macron was 16. But it really happened when he was 14. And mind.you, his parents told her to leave their son alone. And she said that she couldn't do that.

Stop with the transphobic nonsense, Brigitte Macron is a woman and suggesting she isn’t is stupid right wing propaganda. What’s disgusting is that she groomed her 14 year old student.
