In France, the investigation into sexual violence at an after-school care centre in Paris is gathering pace. On Wednesday evening, 16 people who worked at the Saint Dominique state nursery school in the capital's 7th arrondissement had their police custody extended.
The suspects, aged between 18 and 68, are being questioned for offences ranging from rape to behaviour described as excessive or violent.
In total, the Paris public prosecutor's office is investigating possible violence in 84 nursery schools, around twenty elementary schools and around ten crèches.
