He will be able to serve his one-year jail term at home wearing an electronic bracelet, said the Nanterre criminal court. Boutonnat, 54, was also banned from having any contact with the victim for three years. Boutonnat denies any sexual assault has taken place. He said in court that it was his godson who had initiated the situation and kissed him on the mouth. “I feel bad about leaving an ambiguous situation, but to say there was a sexual assault is false,” he told the court.
