Sexual assault incidents in French schools

Overview

Separate incidents involving sexual assault in French educational settings have been reported.

In Pas-de-Calais, a 53-year-old physical education teacher is in pretrial detention following allegations of rape and sexual assault against minors. The suspect is accused of committing these acts between 2012 and 2025 at various institutions. The prosecutor’s office in Boulogne-sur-Mer has identified seven potential victims, and investigators are looking into the man’s connections to local running clubs. Additionally, the president of a regional sports league has been placed under judicial supervision for failing to report crimes.

In Nantes, a teacher at La Durantière middle school was sexually assaulted by a 12-year-old student in June. Because the suspect is under 13, he is being held under a specific legal regime for minors. The Nantes Public Prosecutor stated that a psychiatric expertise is required to determine the student’s criminal responsibility. The incident has led to school staff filing a strike notice for September 8 to demand increased resources and support.
