Two French Educators Face Legal Action Over Alleged Misconduct

A teacher in Haute-Savoie is sentenced for sexual offenses, while a primary school teacher in Gard faces charges for alleged violence against students.

A 39-year-old teacher in Haute-Savoie was sentenced to five years in prison, with four suspended, for sexual offenses against a student between 2020 and 2021.
The teacher admitted to the offenses following a complaint by the student's parents and will face an eight-year sociojudicial follow-up and a lifetime ban from working with minors.
A 59-year-old primary school teacher in Gard has been charged with aggravated violence against several students, accused of bullying and making derogatory remarks.
The Gard teacher, who denies the allegations, has been placed under judicial supervision with a ban on contacting victims or working with children.
The investigation into the Gard teacher began after a parent's report, and she had previously been reported for similar behavior in 2013, but the case was dismissed.
