Overview
- The 29-year-old is on trial for sexual assaults and corruption of minors involving 21 boarding pupils aged 11 to 15 between 2015 and 2023.
- Allegations include undressing and fondling, masturbation, phone exchanges of pornographic images, and forcing two pupils to perform oral sex on each other.
- The public prosecutor requested six years in prison, seven years of socio-judicial follow-up, court-ordered treatment, and a permanent ban on work with children, citing a notable risk of reoffending.
- Proceedings were triggered by a colleague’s May 2023 video showing the supervisor kissing and touching a pupil during a screening; he resigned the next day and then contacted victims or staff to deter testimony.
- Witnesses described grooming through sweets or money, and a now-adult victim recounted forced nude showers and genital touching through clothing; La Dépêche reports 37 offenses are before the court.
