Former director of the Basque Coast music academy, Jean-Claude Dumas Biarritz, has been sentenced by the Bayona Correctional Court to 18 months in prison. There is also a ban on exercising as head and an obligation to compensate both victims with EUR 1,878 and EUR 600.

On 24 January he was tried before the Baiona Court. He was charged with sexual harassment for abuse of the authority he was charged with. Five wives, musicians between 18 and 47 years old, taken for these classes, were part of the civil conflict. The media reported that the whistle-blowers denounced the behaviour of the former director. For example, "kissing kisses," "obscene caresses," "bumps on thighs and buttocks."

The now punished Jean-Claude Dumas defended himself by denying facts which, in his view, were intended to "harm", as announced by the Kazeta media. Defense attorney Beatrize Blazy-Andrieu called for acquittal.
