He had tied up the hands of a four-year-old child with tape. A former director of a leisure center in Sérifontaine, in the Oise department, was sentenced on Thursday to a three-month suspended prison sentence by the Beauvais criminal court, it was learned from the prosecution.
His sentence is also "accompanied by a ban on carrying out an activity likely to put him in contact with minors for a period of two years," Beauvais prosecutor Florent Boura told AFP.
"He tried to calm him down"
During his hearing, the 46-year-old man, who has since been suspended from his duties, admitted to having tied the child's hands on July 11. A complaint had been made by the parents.
"He explained that this child, at the time of the nap, was very upset, that he tried to calm him down, that he did not succeed and that he lost his discernment at one point", had indicated, in August, to AFP, a source within the prosecution.
“He then found a roll of tape, asked him to join his wrists and tied them. This did not last long, maximum two minutes, because staff from the leisure center immediately intervened and immediately seconded him. "
