French Teacher at Rabat School Faces Dismissal and Legal Action for Alleged Sexual Misconduct with Minor

"I have initiated against the teacher a procedure for dismissal for serious misconduct. I filed a complaint against this teacher with the Moroccan authorities for criminal acts against a minor. I made a report to the Public Prosecutor at the Tribunal judiciaire de Paris under Article 40 of the Code of Criminal Procedure. She took up the case," announces the principal of Lycée Descartes in Rabat, François Cuilhe, in an email of which Hespress has a copy. This correspondence was sent to the parents and students of the establishment so that "everyone has the same level of information".

The principal says he is in contact with the student and her family "in order to support and accompany them as best as possible in this difficult moment." "In order to support the students and staff of the establishment who wish to do so, a listening and monitoring cell is set up in the establishment, and is provided by the team of school psychologists," the principal said, reaffirming the determination of the Lycée Descartes in Rabat to "protect all students and guarantee their safety in the establishment."

The case came to light after the leakage of explicit messages on X between this teacher and his student, now in the final year, proving that they were very close. Another student at the Lycée Descartes in Rabat who also confirmed the facts claims to have read the conversation between the alleged harassing teacher and the alleged victim. "I read the messages from his phone (that of the student in question, editor’s note) [...] it is indeed the teacher’s account, he subscribed to students and several were following him on his Instagram account," she confirmed.
