A youth worker at a Parisian preschool has been charged following accusations of sexual assault against three young children. The man has been placed under judicial supervision as part of an investigation into alleged offenses committed at the school, where he worked in after-school activities.
This new case comes amid an already extremely tense climate surrounding after-school programs in Paris. For several months, numerous complaints and reports targeting activity leaders have surfaced in several of the city's schools. According to figures released in recent months, dozens of staff members have been suspended in Paris since 2025 on suspicion of physical or sexual abuse of minors.
The after-school scandal continues to spread
Judicial investigations are now multiplying in several districts of the capital. Parents, organized into groups, are denouncing a lack of response from the authorities and citing malfunctions in the reporting process. Several families are also accusing the City of Paris of having been slow to suspend certain employees despite previous warnings.
In response to the scale of the scandal, the Paris City Hall has announced several measures in recent months to strengthen controls and prevention in extracurricular activities. The Paris public prosecutor's office is continuing numerous investigations into alleged cases of sexual violence in the capital's preschools, while child protection organizations are calling for stricter recruitment and monitoring procedures for staff who work with minors.
