Hundreds of French schools have been caught up in a massive pedophile ring involving politicians and VIPs, prompting Paris Mayor Emmanuel Gregoire to launch a special inquiry into the city’s childcare system.

He repeatedly apologized and acknowledged a “systemic risk” to children, announcing a €20 million ($23 million) emergency reform plan including staff training, surprise inspections, and a ban on adults being left alone with children.

Rt.comreports: Former Paris mayor Anne Hidalgo tried to keep the complaints out of public view. Gregoire, who was elected in March, has pledged transparency, revealing last month that 78 after-school workers had been suspended in 2026, including 31 over suspected sexual misconduct.

The scandal has shocked France after reports that some victims were aged as young as three. The Telegraph, which interviewed parents of affected children, reported they were allegedly locked in rooms, sexually abused, and threatened with death if they spoke. Parents, activists, and unions say the crisis exposed systemic problems in childcare: chronic understaffing, precarious contracts, and poor vetting. They also accuse City Hall of transferring problematic workers instead of terminating them.

The move follows revelations about the scale of abuse in Paris schools: earlier this month, Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau said he had launched investigations into suspected sexual violence at 84 nursery schools, 20 elementary schools, and ten daycare centers.

The announcement came the same day investigators from the Paris Juvenile Protection Brigade carried out a major operation linked to the scandal: 16 people working in after-school programs at a school in the 7th Arrondissement were detained during coordinated raids. Prosecutors said the suspects, aged 18 to 68, include kindergarten assistants, city education supervisors, and activity leaders employed by City Hall to supervise children before and after classes. Allegations range from rape and sexual assault to sexual exhibitionism and violent behavior.
