The trial of 62-year-old former French teacher Pascale B., accused of moral harassment leading to the suicide of 11-year-old Evaëlle on June 21, 2019, commenced on March 10, 2025, at the Pontoise judicial court. Pascale B. faces charges for allegedly humiliating, stigmatizing, and isolating Evaëlle, a sixth-grade student at the Isabelle-Autissier college in Herblay, Val-d'Oise, along with two other students. Evaëlle's parents have expressed their ongoing struggle for justice, highlighting the emotional toll of their daughter's death and the perceived lack of empathy from the educational institution. The trial has brought to light the systemic failures in addressing bullying within schools, as evidenced by the testimonies of the school's former principal and other educators. During the trial, the prosecution requested an 18-month suspended prison sentence against Pascale B., along with a permanent ban from teaching. The teacher has denied any wrongdoing, maintaining that her actions were not intended to humiliate Evaëlle but to resolve conflicts among students. Pascale B. had previously been cleared of charges of involuntary homicide with a non-lieu ruling. The trial's outcome is set to be announced on April 10, 2025, which could have implications for future policies and practices regarding harassment in educational settings.
