Overview
- The child's mother reported on December 29 that her 2-year-10-month-old son was raped by his babysitter, whom she had hired via an online childcare platform.
- The 36-year-old suspect was taken into custody the same day and placed in pretrial detention on December 30.
- On January 9, a judge ordered him back to prison for two years for breaching socio-judicial obligations stemming from a 2020 conviction in Nice for sexual assault on a minor.
- Authorities learned in May 2025 that he was offering babysitting despite restrictions, leading to an explicit ban on all contact with minors.
- The preliminary inquiry is ongoing, with suspicions noted in two additional families and a review of how he provided services while registered in the national sexual-offender file (FIJAIS).
