French After-School Care Worker Sentenced to One Year House Arrest for Sexual Abuse
A 38-year-old employee at a Paris after-school care facility was sentenced to one year of house arrest and a four-year suspended prison term for sexually abusing nine girls aged 5 to 10 between September 2022 and January 2024. Michaël M., who admitted to the acts, will wear an electronic ankle monitor and is banned from working with minors or in the public sector for life. This conviction occurs amid widespread scrutiny of misconduct in Parisian after-school programs, where over 100 staff members have been suspended this year.
