A Paris court Monday sentenced 10 people accused of cyber-bullying President Emmanuel Macron’s wife Brigitte by spreading false information about her gender and insinuations related to the age difference between the first couple.

Eight defendants were handed suspended sentences of four to eight months in prison, a ninth man was sentenced to six months in prison over his absence from the hearing, and a tenth person was ordered to follow a course against hate speech online.
