PARIS, June 8 (Reuters) - French Justice Minister Gerald Darmanin said on Monday he had told public prosecutors to review 70,000 ongoing allegations of violence against minors, after an outcry over the death an 11-year-old girl.

o The girl's death caused outrage after authorities said they had not acted on previous child rape allegations against the main suspect.

o The case marked a "terrible failure from the state, and of the justice system," Darmanin said.

o Prosecutors had to review all formal complaints filed with authorities across the country by July 14 as "an absolute priority," he added.

o Asked if he would resign, Darmanin said: "If any shortcomings are identified, I will take responsibility and propose disciplinary actions ranging from a reprimand to dismissal."

o Lawmakers across the political spectrum said the case highlighted the justice system's failure to protect women and children from sexual violence.
