Paris Mayor Grégoire Testifies on Childcare Abuse Scandal

Paris Mayor Emmanuel Grégoire testified before the French Senate on Wednesday about a sexual abuse scandal in the city's after-school childcare programs. He expressed "deep regrets" over the handling of the case, which began under his predecessor Anne Hidalgo. A collective also reported a "new wave" of abuse reports during the hearing. Grégoire denied that the city had covered up for pedophiles, saying he had taken charge of the issue.
