Pas-de-Calais Samu chief given suspended sentence for sexual assault

A court found the Pas-de-Calais Samu chief guilty of sexually assaulting a colleague at a conference in Paris in 2025.

He was given a six-month suspended prison sentence and barred from contacting her for three years.

He must also be added to France’s sex-offender register.

He denies the allegations, and his lawyer plans to appeal, so the case will be reviewed.
