The events took place a few weeks after the start of the school year, in mid-October. And more precisely in the canteen of the Hubert-Pouquet nursery school in Villars, a town located in the Saint-Etienne metropolis, as part of the after-school program. It was the three-year-old girl who revealed these acts by confiding in her parents during the All Saints’ Day holidays.
The mayor of Villars, Jordan Da Silva, reacted through a press release. He shared his surprise about the “presence of this trainee within the school during extracurricular time in the absence of a hosting agreement”. Asked by the AFP, the person concerned regrets, “given the seriousness of the facts, having to wait until January 8 for the Academic Inspectorate to agree to a meeting to provide (him) with an explanation”.
