Jean-Marc Morandini Sentenced to 18 Months Suspended Prison Term for Sexual Harassment

The CNews presenter was also fined and ordered to pay damages, as questions arise about his future with the Canal+ group.

Jean-Marc Morandini was convicted in a Paris appeals court for sexual harassment and given an 18-month suspended prison sentence, an increase from the six months previously imposed.
The court also fined Morandini €50,000 for concealed labor related to casting practices for his web series 'Les Faucons.'
He must pay €10,000 in damages to the harassment victim, Gabriel, and compensate other victims of concealed labor while undergoing mandatory psychological treatment.
Morandini's actions included using a fake casting director persona to solicit explicit videos from young aspiring actors, with some receiving coercive and inappropriate requests.
Despite the conviction, Morandini continues to host his daily program on CNews, as the Canal+ group has not yet indicated whether his role will be reassessed.
