Essonne: Professor indicted for sexual assault, already condemned in England – Le Figaro

Despite an assault on a child in England in 2006, a math teacher was able to continue to exercise the teaching profession in France. He has been indicted for another assault in the Essonne.

“The time of omerta Gone (… ) The national Education is responsible this time. ” The words of the minister Najat Vallaud-Belkacem are heavy and binding. On Friday, she was keen to give details of the new pedophile scandal that has erupted after the affair Romain Farina, which occurred in June 2015.

For the case in question is “intolerable” in the words of the minister. A math teacher of 55 years, the College Blaise Pascal of Villemoisson-sur-Orge (91) in the Academy of Versailles, was brought before a judge for the following charges: sexual assault on minor 15, recording of pornographic images with child under 15, consultation in return for a payment of child pornography websites … detained interim, he was suspended from office.

But national Education knew. Because the teacher had a history, certainly outside of his teaching activities, even outside French territory, but the institution knew. In 2006, the director of a summer camp in England, he was sentenced by a British court to 15 months in prison “for sex with a child from a position of trust and voyeurism”, accompanied by a ban exercise with minors. It is then obliged to inform his employer, the National Education, his absence due to incarceration.

The National Education knew

However, in 2007, back in France, the Joint Administrative Committee (which includes staff representatives and the administration) concludes, unanimously by its 35 members in the absence of punishment, noting that “the materiality of the charges against the teacher (is) open to doubt and that doubt (should) enjoy it.” The teacher is thus reinstated and return to the path of the college.

Unlike the Roman Farina case, Villefontaine, where national education had not been informed by the judicial services of the teacher’s conviction, Villemoisson-sur-Orge, the education was notified. “This blindness to such serious facts can not remain without a result (…) The only sanction for such serious facts is revoked,” insisted the minister, who conducted an administrative investigation. The 35 members of the Joint Committee will be called upon to justify.

In addition, as part of the announced reinforcement of links between justice and national education on such cases, “the criminal record checks of teachers started”, said the minister.

Cell Phone with images of child pornography

At this point, nothing suggests that mathematics teacher students were victims of his actions. The investigation is ongoing. Parents have been informed and a psychological cell was set up at Blaise Pascal College.

The warning came from the discovery by chance of a mobile phone by a young man who decided to return spontaneously to the police, said the prosecutor of Evry. In this phone, were found a memory card containing pornographic photos uploaded on the internet a video showing touching a child of ten years and a RIB is the name of the teacher.

The suspect, quickly identified, was arrested on 17 February at his home in Sainte-Geneviève-des-Bois. In custody, he recognized “homosexual pedophile impulses to tend toward boys than a dozen years.” In recent years, he had made several trips in Southeast Asia.
