Overview
- The family, which filed its complaint Tuesday at the Paris prosecutor’s office, targets Premières Lignes Télévision and named members of the Cash Investigation team for alleged non-denunciation.
- The complaint says a reporter filmed 27 hours inside Saint‑Dominique nursery in spring 2025 and that footage showing mistreatment was kept off the record for nine months without a report to authorities.
- Hidden‑camera images later aired on January 29 on France 2 showed verbal abuse and an animator kissing a child on the mouth, and the broadcast led to the immediate suspension of nine staff at the school.
- Cash Investigation and its producer reject the accusations as false, saying city services had already suspended an animator on May 7, 2025 over suspected sexual conduct and that the journalist did not witness sexual assault.
- France Télévisions had not commented, and the dispute unfolds as Paris reviews its after‑school services, where 78 staff have been suspended since early 2026, including 31 over suspected sexual violence.
