Often, there is not enough real racism to go around, so it has to be created out of thin air. Now, a Moroccan teacher from the French city of Libourne has been convicted and sentenced to prison for aggravated fraud and false reporting after it was revealed she was behind racist death threats, which she then reported to the police.
Notably, her death threats sent the entire school into disarray, and led to a number of false accusations against individuals within the school.
The teacher, from the Jean Monnet high school, was sentenced to 13 months in a suspended sentence by the Libourne court.
The 43-year-old woman, described as having a “psychologically fragile” disposition due to past traumas (accidents, sexual assault, etc.), faces significant professional consequences., according to a report from media outlet France Bleu.
She is banned from working as a teacher for five years, must undergo psychological treatment, and will be required to compensate the education authority for the resources deployed to protect her. Despite her issues, the psychiatric assessment confirmed she is “responsible for her actions” and suffers from no mental illness.
The job, which she claimed was “my whole life,” is now lost. She collapsed in the courtroom after the verdict, an act that her colleague Thierry Crespin, a boilermaking teacher, dismissed as potentially staged:
“She’s already had this kind of reaction in high school, where she supposedly fainted. I don’t believe it for a moment,” said Crespin.
The woman, who is of Moroccan origin, apologized to the police, the education authority, and her colleagues during the hearing.
While she confessed to sending the final, threatening text message in April 2025—which she did only after video evidence showed her buying the SIM card—she maintains she did not write the three preceding handwritten letters.
The public prosecutor asserted she was caught “in the spiral of her lie,” “in her victim persona.”
The teacher claimed, “I don’t know what went through my mind,” explaining that she fabricated the evidence to jumpstart the investigation, which was on the verge of being closed.
Her lawyer, Séverin Djè, supported this, arguing, “The investigation management regularly told her that her investigation was over because there was no new evidence, and that without it, it would be closed. This explains this mistake of fabricating evidence.”
This defense, however, did not convince the court.
The revelation left colleagues feeling deceived. Corinne, a lab technician, shared her deep sense of betrayal: “I was always her confidant in the lab when she had problems. She would come to my house to cry, I would take her to the lab, and I would talk with her. I felt cheated. She gave her own version of events to everyone, and we never all had the same version. So, in conclusion, we realize we were all cheated.”
Edwige, a management teacher, expressed profound personal distress, saying: “I’m devastated because I supported her so much. I was on the phone with her constantly. Learning it was her devastated me.”
She also highlighted the long-term impact on the high school community, noting that the affair “has undermined the school’s educational community. There are still many tensions. Students have been suspected, teachers have been suspected, and school staff have been suspected. Students have been taken into custody. There are people who no longer speak to each other. It has left its mark on the school. As soon as you type ‘Jean Monnet Libourne High School,’ it’s the first thing that comes up. It’s a shame.”
While some hate crime hoaxes go viral, such as the Jessie Smollett case, many feature little in terms of reporting. In fact, numerous studies have shown has many hate crimes are actually hoaxes, up to one in three, according to the Manhattan Institute. However, the number may be much higher, as many who participate in hate crime hoaxes are never discovered.
