During the events of May 1968, Gabrielle Russier, a lit teacher, fell in love with one of her students. His parents brought proceedings against her and she ended up in jail on a corruption of a minor charge. Out of despair, she committed suicide. "L'affaire Gabrielle Russier" in the late sixties became a much debated subject: even such politicians as the late Georges Pompidou referred to it.
