Two French Educators Face Legal Action Over Sexual Abuse Allegations

Separate cases in Paris and Yvelines involve minors, leading to arrests, convictions, and further investigations.

A Paris-based chess instructor, 37, has been charged with sexually assaulting two boys, aged 7 and 13, during private lessons between 2023 and 2024.
The chess teacher admitted to his actions, citing uncontrollable impulses, and was found in possession of child pornography during a police search of his home.
In a separate case in Yvelines, a 36-year-old elementary school teacher has been sentenced to 18 months in prison for sexually assaulting two students, aged 7 and 8, between September 2023 and March 2024.
The Yvelines teacher has been permanently barred from working with children and is required to undergo treatment as part of his sentencing.
Authorities continue to investigate the full extent of the chess instructor's activities, including his role in a Go club, while the Yvelines teacher plans to appeal his conviction.
