British soldier cleared of aiding illegal immigration in France

A French court gave 49-year-old Rob Lawrie only a suspended €1,000 fine on a charge of putting the child’s life in danger — by transporting her in a storage compartment of his van rather than on a child seat with a seatbelt.
Lawrie, an unemployed father of four, had befriended the girl and her father in a squalid migrant camp in northern France.
