French nursery school assistant charged with child sex abuse
A French nursery school assistant has been charged with the alleged rape and sexual assault of nine children, the public prosecutor's office in the southern city of Montpellier said Thursday. The 59-year-old woman was arrested after authorities opened an investigation following complaints by the families of two children attending a nursery school in the southern village of Vic-La-Gardiole, it said. The nine children were between three and four years old and 'the alleged offences involve acts of digital penetration and masturbation believed to have been committed... between October 1, 2024 and July 2, 2025', prosecutors said. The families filed the complaint on July 2, according to a source close to the case. As a precautionary measure, the suspect was suspended from her job on July 3. Authorities opened an investigation on July 29 for the rape of minors under the age of 15 and sexual assault on minors under the age of 15 by a person in a position of authority. An investigating judge then 'charged her with acts likely to have been committed on nine children', prosecutors said. The suspect is being held in pre-trial detention.

Director of Women's Football Marisa Ewers expressed her excitement over the new addition: 'Océane has played very consistently in France and has gained a lot of minutes in recent seasons. She has impressed us with her energy and quality on the ball, and we hope we can aid her further development here at Aston Villa.'
