Jean-Marc Morandini Sentenced to Two Years Suspended for Corruption of Minors

The Paris Court of Appeal increased the French TV host's sentence, imposed fines, and banned him from working with minors.

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.
