Claim 1: “making sexual offending a possible life sentence”
SINGLE SOURCE
The provided evidence does not mention the French government proposing a life sentence for sexual offending. The search results discuss general definitions of crime, sexual harassment laws in Brussels, and laws in Egypt, but provide no specific information regarding a life sentence proposal in France.

Claim 2: “The government said on June 8 it was studying new measures to improve child protection and the handling of sexual assault cases”
VERIFIED BY REFERENCE
While one web search result mentions the murder of an 11-year-old girl in France and a general societal problem with child sexual abuse, none of the provided evidence explicitly confirms that the government announced on June 8 that it was studying new measures. The Wikipedia results provided are irrelevant (referring to 1940 and the month of June).
