According to Le Parisien, the man showed the videos to a nine-year-old girl from the South of France. The girl promptly told her father, who attacked the man and broke his glasses.
Police were called to the scene, where they found the man in question — who was a British tourist — trying to delete explicit images and videos from his phone. While he initially denied any wrongdoing, he later admitted to showing the videos after police searched his hotel room and found additional images and videos on his laptop and tablet.

He later tried to argue that he had shown the girl the videos in an attempt to get her to stop staring at him. Accused of corruption of a minor under 15 and habitual consultation of an online public communication service making available the pornographic image or representation of a minor, he received a four-year suspended sentence.
The man was also placed on a sex offenders register, banned from participating in any activities involving minors, and ordered to pay €2,000 to the victims for moral damage and €372 euros for material damage.

Similarly, a man was arrested at Disney World in 2019 after he inappropriately touched a young guest.
