Prohibition of activities related to minors
During his career, the professor taught children between the ages of 2 and 12, the court noted.
The latter ordered its inclusion in the file of perpetrators of sexual or violent offenses (Fijais). The septuagenarian no longer has the right to exercise an activity related to minors and must also receive care.
