Teacher at Catholic school in Hautes-Alpes under arrest for sexual assault
In the town of Gap, Hautes-Alpes, a teacher at a private Catholic school has been suspended and is currently under investigation for alleged sexual offenses against minors that occurred between the years 2011 and 2025.
The investigation was confirmed by BFMTV and ICI Provence following denunciations made in April 2025, before the teacher's suspension in May 2025. Two students made the denunciations in letters sent in April, and the management immediately informed the Gap prosecutor.
The nature of the offenses is not specified, but the teacher is required to explain himself about four alleged acts: two incidences of sexual assault, one incident of sexual harassment, and three incidents of corruption of minors.
The offenses are said to have taken place at both a high school and college within the school. An investigation was opened by the Gap prosecutor following the reports, and a support cell was established to provide assistance during the investigation. However, no specific details about the nature of the support cell were provided.
It is important to note that no credible or specific search results have named the suspended teacher at the Saint-Joseph Catholic private school in Gap as the individual under investigation. No information was provided about the teacher's identity or age.
This investigation is in addition to the one already ongoing since September 8, 2022, when a teacher at the same school was taken into custody for sexual violence. The teacher is currently under investigation for corruption of minors, and the type of school involved is a private Catholic school.
The school management and the Gap prosecutor have not released any further statements at this time. This article will be updated as more information becomes available.
