The technical director of the France gymnastics center in Marseille, Vincent Pateau, was sentenced Thursday, May 4 to six months in prison suspended for moral harassment against underage sportswomen he had trained in this high-level structure. Relaxed for the facts alleged against him by two of the five plaintiffs, Mr. Pateau was also sentenced to a fine of 10,000 euros by the Marseille criminal court. At the hearing, at the end of March, the prosecution had requested a suspended sentence of fifteen months in prison. On the other hand, no ban on exercising his profession has been pronounced. Wishing such a measure, the prosecutor Véronique Fabron had left it to the discretion of the court. In this same case, a former coach of the France pole in Marseille, Pierre Ettel, will also be tried for moral harassment, on November 7, after the complaint of one of the five gymnasts who targeted Mr. Pateau.
