The student previously claimed that teacher Samuel Paty, who had been killed in the street by an Islamic extremist last October, had asked Muslims to leave the classroom before showing the prophet’s cartoons.
The girl’s father filed a lawsuit and charged the teacher online. This led an 18-year-old refugee from Chechnya to find S. Paty and behead him at Konflan Saint Honorine, about 40 kilometers northwest of Paris.
However, the student, who was threatened with expulsion from school due to disciplinary violations, admitted that she was not present at that lesson.
She was charged with defamation and her father and another Muslim preacher were charged with “complicity in the murder”.
“She lied because she felt trapped because her classmates asked to be represented,” Mbeko Tabula, her lawyer, told AFP on Monday, confirming a report in Le Parisien.
During a free speech lesson, Paty showed students cartoons that were first published in the Charlie Hebdo newspaper and found offensive by many Muslims.
Paty’s killer was killed by police officers shortly after the attack.
Le Parisien said Monday that his last contact was with a member of a jihadist group in Syria.
The French parliament is considering a new security law that would establish imprisonment for deliberately posting information on the Internet that could harm a public official.
