Paris teacher's partner sentenced to suspended prison for child molestation

A Paris court handed down a three-year suspended prison term to a 24-year-old man for sexually assaulting two three-year-old children in 2025 at the Grands-Champs nursery, where his partner was a teacher. The judge highlighted the precise, repeated accounts of the children and the defendant’s systematic denial as key factors. The trial was held behind closed doors to protect the dignity of all parties involved.

In addition to the suspended sentence, the man must undergo psychological care, is forbidden from any profession or volunteer role involving regular contact with minors for a decade, and cannot set foot in the school or the adjacent street. He was also entered into the national register of sexual offenders. The case adds to a broader scandal of sexual abuse allegations in Paris’s after-school services, where hundreds of investigations are ongoing.
