Doctors in France have started giving chemical treatment to 48 repeat sex offenders to see if it will stop them attacking again.

All the men, who have finished prison terms for sex crimes, are volunteers.
The government hopes the treatment, which is already available in Sweden, Germany, Denmark and the US will help stem the increase in sex crimes.
