His “sexual partner” rejected, according to judicial court of Meaux, the woman promised to “rot [sa] life “. This is how Antoine * ‘s legal quarrels began. We are a month after the start of the 2019 school year. Professor in a school of La Ferté-sous-Jouarre (Seine-et-Marne), the man had until then a relationship with the mother of a student.
When the said relationship ends, the woman goes to the gendarmerie. She denounces there the relationship a teacher has with two of his daughter’s classmates, and accuses Antoine of flirting with two minors. A investigation is open.
He exchanged in the evening by SMS or on Snapchat
The gendarmes first question the two alleged victims. The first recognizes thatshe talks in the evening with her teacher, by SMS or on the Snapchat application. She entrusts her phone in which the investigators discover des selfies of the suspect and surprising messages using inappropriate words (“hugs”, “kisses on the neck”, “you’re mine…”).
The second girl reports disturbing comments about a possible move. “I’m going to ask your parents to let you live with me.” Otherwise I will kidnap you, my princess, ”wrote Antoine.
The following words call out to the suspect’s intentions: “An ideal day or even an evening spent together, imagine!” I love you, you’re too beautiful! I dream of snuggling up to you on the sofa, spending a night with you, seeing your face when you wake up! “. Finally, this same girl tells of the exchange of clothes because he finds “important to have his scent with him!” “.
He seeks “to be appreciated by his students”
The soldiers, after having questioned the parents, took an interest in the teacher’s personality and concluded that Antoine “constantly sought to be appreciated by his pupils”. First under investigation, the teacher is suspended from January 2020.
Heard under custody, two months later, he denies any sexual ulterior motive. However, the psychiatric examination identifies a patent immaturity, a need to please, to be recognized, to be adulated, a lack of integration of limits, a confusion of roles… It is placed under judicial control.
The president of the hearing of the judicial tribunal of Meaux appeared disconcerted by Antoine’s attitude on December 15: “Tell us, what is your position because you do not seem to attach much importance to the criticisms made? “. The representative of the prosecution even called him to order after seeing the defendant on several occasions display a slight inappropriate smile.
The public prosecutor began her intervention with statements which set the tone for her requisitions: “I can certify that the gentleman did not understand anything”, or even “his profile is particularly worrying, some messages clearly reflect a background. sexual thought! “.
Antoine’s lawyer attempted a maneuver to mitigate the foreseeable conviction of his client, but the judges remained deaf to his arguments. Antoine is condemned to ten months in prison with probationary suspension with an obligation to undergo psychological care, a ban on contacting victims andcarry out an activity related to young people for ten years. Finally, they pronounced its inclusion in the file of sex offenders.
