The appeal trial regarding the harassment case of Evaëlle's teacher has begun in Versailles, six years after her tragic suicide in 2019. Evaëlle, a young girl from Val-d'Oise, took her own life, which led to accusations against her teacher for harassment, a claim the educator has consistently denied. The removal of charges in the first trial raised significant concern amongst Evaëlle's family, who felt that the ruling did not accurately reflect the situation or the circumstances leading to their daughter's death.

In the initial trial held in April 2025, the court ruled in favor of the teacher, citing the evidence as "discordant, indirect, and insufficiently precise," stating that the actions attributed to the teacher were legitimate and appropriate behaviors in the context of teaching. This verdict has left Evaëlle's parents in despair as they seek justice for their daughter, hoping this appeal will lead to a more responsible and thoughtful consideration of the facts and events that transpired.

The outcome of this case has broader implications not only for the parties involved but also for the educational system, as it raises critical questions about teacher-student interactions, accountability, and the need for better support mechanisms for vulnerable students. The ongoing support and attention from the parents underscore a desire for systemic change to prevent similar tragedies in the future.
