The deputy principal of a college in Maurepas in Yvelines was indicted in April for the rape of a student at this establishment, the Versailles prosecutor’s office said on Friday, requested by AFP.
In mid-April, he was indicted for rape of a minor under 15 years old by a person in authority and possession of child pornography images, this source said. Placed under judicial supervision, he is notably prohibited from carrying out any activity in contact with minors and can therefore no longer practice his profession. Still according to the prosecution, the investigation opened on April 16 covers a period from 2020 to 2026 for the possession of child pornography images, and from 2025 to 2026 for acts of rape.
