Overview

• Jean-Marc Morandini was sentenced to two years of suspended prison time by the Paris Court of Appeal for corruption of minors involving three adolescents between 2009 and 2016.
• The court also imposed a €20,000 fine and issued a permanent ban on Morandini working with minors in any capacity.
• The charges included sending sexually explicit messages to two 15-year-olds and coercing a 16-year-old to undress and perform sexual acts during an audition.
• Morandini’s legal team announced plans to appeal the decision to the Court of Cassation, continuing the legal battle.
• This conviction follows a separate January 2025 ruling where Morandini received an 18-month suspended sentence for sexual harassment and his production company was fined €10,000 for undeclared work.
