Passive voice in 'was left with significant disabilities' obscures agency of perpetrator
Headline foregrounding 'inspired by Pelicot case' creates narrative linkage that may not be editorial necessity but emotional connection
Victim identifier 'Laeticia R' with partial anonymization contrasts with unnamed 'abusive partner' — creates asymmetric framing favoring victim narrative over balanced reporting
