A respected French teacher who offered free language lessons and gave cash to people in working-class neighborhoods has been jailed on suspicion of ab*sing 89 boys over more than five decades.
Jacques Leveugle, known as Monsieur Jacques, was detained in his home country, prosecutors in France announced last week.
Under questioning, the 79-year-old also admitted to taking the lives of his mother and aunt when they were terminally ill with cancer by suffocating them with pillows.
