In September 2023, the prestigious French Lycée Descartes in Rabat was rocked by a scandal involving a male teacher accused of "détournement de mineur" (corruption of a minor). The educator allegedly had a sexual relationship with a 14-year-old student. While the school only confirmed that the teacher "exchanged messages of unacceptable content," sources claimed the abuse went far beyond that.
Social media has played a dual role in these scandals. On one hand, platforms like have facilitated the rapid spread of harmful content , including pornographic videos involving minors. On the other hand, social media has empowered victims and activists to speak out and demand justice.
Victims of digital leaks frequently experience severe anxiety, leading to school absenteeism, dropping grades, or the necessity to transfer schools to escape harassment.
