Paris : un animateur suspecté de violences sexuelles dans une école maternelle du 10e arrondissement 20.02.2026

On February 9, 2026, a report of sexual offenses by an animator at the Leon Schwartzenberg kindergarten in Paris's 10th arrondissement was filed with the Paris prosecutor's office. The animator, who had been employed since 2011 and worked in other local schools, was placed on administrative leave. The initial report, made by the Cellule de recueil des informations préoccupantes (CRIP), concerned alleged sexual exhibitionism towards students. Since then, additional reports have been made, including one formal complaint. Local official Bertil Fort criticized the city hall's communication regarding the incident, noting that parents at other schools where the animator had worked were not informed and learned of the allegations through informal channels. This situation follows another incident where an animator at the Belzunce school was arrested in March 2024, with parents reportedly advised not to discuss it.
