Comic book author Bastien Vivès appeared in court on Tuesday to face charges of fixing and distributing child pornography in two of his comic albums. But the two-day trial, which pits issues of child protection against freedom of speech, was halted after the court north of Paris declared it lacked the territorial jurisdiction to judge the case.
Comic book author Bastien Vivès is accused by several associations of producing pornographic drawings of minors in two of his albums.
