The prosecution offered him a suspended sentence of twelve months in prison, a fine of 2,500 euros and a five-year ban on exercising an activity involving contact with minors, which he accepted.
This sanction must now be approved on Wednesday by a judge of the Paris court during an appearance hearing on prior recognition of guilt (CRPC), a sort of French-style guilty plea.
At this stage, investigators are not aware of any other victims, apart from the 13-year-old teenager, a source familiar with the matter added.
