A 50-year-old high school teacher in Meaux, France, was found guilty of corruption of a minor for sending inappropriate messages to a 14-year-old student via WhatsApp. The messages contained sexually suggestive content, including requests for kisses and caresses. The teacher, visibly ashamed in court, expressed remorse.
The teacher received a sentence prohibiting him from engaging in any activity involving regular contact with minors for a period of ten years. This effectively ends his teaching career.
The trial took place in the Meaux Correctional Court. The judge read aloud the explicit messages sent by the teacher to the student. A class of students initially present in the courtroom left before the explicit details were revealed.
