A primary school head teacher was charged Wednesday with having tricked blindfolded pupils into oral sex during a workshop on experiencing new tastes, justice officials said.

Grenoble prosecutor Jean-Yves Coquillat said the suspect, a 45-year old father, had been charged with "aggravated rape, sexual assault on minors... procurement and possession of child pornography," and remanded in custody.

The move came a day after the school principal confessed to accusations he manipulated pupils into performing oral sex acts on him during the workshop. The children were blindfolded and asked to describe items they were given to taste.

"He did not want to discuss things in detail. He simply said he was sorry for what he had done, and that he will fully discuss it when he is ready," Coquillat said.

Coquillat added that nine complaints have been filed against the suspect by two boys and seven girls -- aged six and seven -- who had been pupils in his class in Villefontaine, near the city of Lyon in southeastern France.

The assaults, which are believed to have been committed between December and March, are qualified as rape under French law.

The shock and horror at the Mas de la Raz school and across France in reaction to the assaults deepened further with revelations on Tuesday that the principal had obtained his job despite a 2008 conviction for possessing child pornography.

However, that conviction -- which carried a six-month suspended jail term and an order to receive specialised treatment -- did not prohibit him from working with children, and in September 2008 the suspect was hired by a school in Grenoble.

Authorities responsible for the school in Villefontaine said they had received no information about the 2008 conviction when the suspect was hired in late 2014.

They also said they had gotten no indication his name was in a national database of child sex offenders, but noted systematic consultation of that list was limited to entry-level hires and interns.

France's education ministry responded to the news by launching an internal investigation parallel to the legal case to discover how a convicted sex offender could have been hired, and determine if any other victims were abused.

Local authorities were alerted to the assaults after two six-year-olds complained to their parents about what they had experienced.

Justice officials said the suspect tricked pupils into oral sex behind a screen at a far end of the classroom.

A search of the his house following his arrest allegedly turned up more child pornography.

The families of all these students should own this school before it's over through lawsuits. This man should never have been hired with his criminal history of child pornography. Wow. So many failures here.
 
The plan was sound. The plan had merit. Of course....it would have been less offensive if it had been secondary school students instead of primary school students.
 
French primary school principal admits sex assaults on his pupils
LYON (AFP) - A primary school head teacher confessed Tuesday to having tricked blindfolded pupils into oral sex during a workshop on experiencing new tastes, according to prosecutors.

The confession followed earlier revelations the suspect obtained his job working with young children despite a 2008 conviction for possessing child pornography.

That thunderbolt prompted France's education ministry to launch an internal investigation parallel to the legal inquiry to discover how the convicted offender was hired, and determine if any other victims were abused.

Prosecutors said the school principal, an unidentified 45-year-old father, forced at least two pupils to perform oral sex acts on him during the workshop. The activity involved children wearing blindfolds and describing items they were given to taste.

Authorities were alerted after two six-year-olds complained to their parents about what they had experienced.

Justice officials say the suspect tricked at least two pupils into oral sex behind a screen at a far end of the classroom.

Under French law, the assaults are qualified as rape.

Nine complaints by nine different pupils the suspect had been teaching have been filed with police thus far, said prosecutor Matthieu Bourrette.

The school principal initially denied the alleged rapes, which are suspected to have taken place between December and March in the town of Villefontaine, near the city of Lyon in southeastern France.

But searches of the his home following his arrest Monday uncovered child pornography.

It also emerged that in 2008 he was convicted for possessing similar material, sentenced to a six-month suspended jail term and ordered to receive specialised treatment.

However, he was not banned from working with children - a fact that may have made it difficult for education authorities to find out about his past before hiring him.

The school's supervisor, Dominique Fis, said local officials had received no information that the suspect was listed in France's national database of child sex offenders.

"There was nothing in his file concerning that conviction, and we only learned about it yesterday," Fis said.

Fis noted that while several employees in her administration have access to the sex offender database, consultation of the listing is only automatic "for entry level hires and interns." "After that there is no systematic procedure," she said.

Fis said the suspect had initially been hired by a school in Grenoble in September 2008, and joined Villefontaine's Mas de la Ras school in late 2014.

"He stopped working between 2008 and 2011, having taken a leave of absence after losing a child." The school has put a psychological support cell into place to help pupils, parents and teachers through the traumatic period.

"We've met with parents, who are in a state of shock - as is the entire teaching staff," Fis said.

Earlier Tuesday, French Education Minister Najat Vallaud-Belkacem said an administrative inquiry had been launched into how a convicted sex offender could have got a teaching job.

"We have learned about these extremely grave, indeed abominable acts," she said, promising "disciplinary panels will determine punishment" if error or negligence is discovered in the suspect being able to obtain his post.

Really. You don't say. :penguin:

Gee, WHY am I not surprised... :wait:

Really? You didn't receive any information, or have ANY indication he was on a national database as a convicted chomo? *gasp shock horror!* You mean he didn't volunteer this information when you hired him? No wonder all of France is outraged! The NERVE of this scoundrel! *faint :dead:*

You f**kin' morons. :finger:
 
I like that law. Probably would have only been charge with sexual assault in the states.

Agreed, however it appears some of their other laws need work!

Don't forget Mark Berndt, the teacher who spoon fed his jizz to his students.

Then the school district paid him $40K to resign rather than go through a lengthy firing process. http://www.laweekly.com/news/mark-berndts-40-000-payoff-2173991

As a result of Berndt's case and others, the state of California passed a law making it easier to fire teachers who commit certain felonies:

  • Rape: The penalty is increased from fifteen years’ imprisonment to twenty years in cases where the rape is committed on a minor under the age of fifteen; on a person who is particularly vulnerable due to age, sickness, infirmity, physical or mental deficiency, or pregnancy; or where it is committed by an ascendant relative or by any person having authority over the victim.[57]

The French, like all of Europe, have obscenely open views of nearly every single type of sexual activity. It's truly a depraved, vile collection of cultures and peoples.

He'll likely find himself working with children again in the not too distant future, perhaps as part of some day-work release program offered by his soft-assed French correctional facility.
