The case that shocked France has sparked outrage in Paris, with protesters storming into the hospital.
The woman has been charged with suspected sexual assault on minors and distribution of child abuse images.
Meanwhile, her partner has been charged with complicity in the sexual instigation of minors.
The nurse reportedly showed up at a police station to confess after several videos appeared on TikTok warning of "a scandal in a hospital in the 93rd arrondissement".
She also accused her 28-year-old boyfriend of involvement when she went to the cops earlier this week.
The couple allegedly shared the clips of the horrifying crimes with each other.
But these videos got leaked onto social media, bringing the appalling acts into the spotlight.
Videos began circulating on TikTok claiming "two people who work with infants" were mistreating infants.
After these videos went viral online, the nurse reportedly went to the police to report the shocking crimes.
The appalling acts are said to have taken place in December 2024 and January 2025.
And these clips have viscerally angered many people in France, with protesters making their way to the hospital on Saturday.
Furious demonstrators entered the premises and demanded an interview with management, Actu Paris has reported.
Families were among those who protested at the hospital.
But the demonstrators were peacefully evacuated from the building without their request being granted.
Two victims have reportedly been identified following analysis of the videos.
The nurse, who has since been suspended from her role, reportedly indicated to cops that she had filmed the abuse and sent it to her partner.
Both suspects have appeared before court since being taken into police custody.
They have been placed under judicial supervision, despite the prosecution requesting pre-trial detention.
An investigation into the events is ongoing.
The Grand Paris Nord-Est territorial hospital group said on Friday that "this nurse worked exclusively in the neonatal intensive care unit of the Montreuil hospital", Le Monde has reported.
Hospital management added that worried mothers had been calling the facility "even though they had sometimes given birth there a year ago".
They said: "The actions of this nurse, if confirmed by the ongoing police investigation, are a serious personal error that the hospital strongly condemns.
"They are in no way a collective service practice."
The nurse was suspended as a "precautionary measure" pending the investigation.
According to the Bobigny prosecutor's office, the appalling acts would have taken place in December 2024 and January 2025.
While there had been speculation of a racial dimension to the alleged crime, this has been denied by the prosecutor's office.
"There is no racial element in the act," they said.

Watch moment asylum seeker pulls the middle finger & flicks cigarette at protesters outside £200 a night migrant hotel
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) THIS is the moment an asylum seeker flips the bird at protesters as he is escorted by a policeman into a £200 a night migrant hotel. The man also flicked a cigarette towards the 40-person group of shouting anti-migrant protesters as tensions flared outside The Chine Hotel in Boscombe, Bournemouth.

As a young man is escorted by a police officer towards the seaside hotel, an anti-migrant protester is heard shouting: "Where are you from mate?" The migrant then flicks a cigarette towards the group before shouting back at them. Adding fuel to the fire, another protester can be heard asking him: "Were you running from a war?" The man stops before turning to give the crowd the middle finger. The Chine is one of three hotels in Bournemouth that are used to house asylum seekers and thereby closed to the public. The late 19th century hotel - visited by celebrities like Stan Laurel, Oliver Hardy and Dame Vera Lynn - is known for its sea views. It has 88 rooms that showcase views of the sea or the landscaped gardens, along with indoor swimming pool and spa facilities. The honeymoon suite is said to cost £200 a night. The protest saw anti-migrant protesters passionately waving their Union Jack flags and playing patriotic songs like 'Three Lions' and 'Rule Britannia' on a loudspeaker. Watch moment migrant boat arrives on Spain hols beach before they are chased & tackled by angry locals A group from Stand Up To Racism, supported by former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, showed up to form a counter-protest. They held up placards, reading: 'Refugees Welcome, Stop The Far Right'. Dozens of police officers created a barrier between the two groups as things became heated. Though one anti-immigration protester squared up to a police officer, no arrests were made during the three-hour protest. It comes as mothers and children dressed in pink protested outside Britain's most controversial migrant hotel on Saturday - before masked yobs hijacked the event and clashed with police. Demonstrators chanting 'Save our kids and women' shut down a busy road outside the four-star Britannia International Hotel in Canary Wharf, East London. They were among 200 anti-migrant protesters waving flags, including a giant St George's Cross, and calling for an end to small boat crossings. On Sunday, the Met Police issued a Section 42 dispersal order banning some demonstrators from gathering outside the hotel for 28 days. 5 Anti-migrant protesters shouting at asylum seekers entering a hotel as police officers intervene on Monday Credit: BNPS

Scots whisky firm director who slapped wife & said ‘I hope you die' dodges jail over horrendous domestic abuse
VILE ABUSE Scots whisky firm director who slapped wife & said 'I hope you die' dodges jail over horrendous domestic abuse Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A SHAMED ex-director of a Scots whisky firm who terrorised his wife was today ordered to 250 hours of unpaid work. Christopher Leggat, 44, verbally and violently abused Cara Leggat, 42, between September 2022 and November 2024. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 A trial at Glasgow Sheriff Court heard about his campaign of abuse Credit: PA:Press Association Leggat was the former managing director of Cara's family's company Douglas Laing & Co based in the Glasgow's Hillington. Leggat made current managing director Cara's life hell as their now 12-year marriage broke down. He repeatedly slapped his estranged partner and later pushed her into a kitchen cabinet which caused her an injury. Leggat wished his wife dead notably after he was unhappy about a water bottle he received as a birthday present. He also attempted to stop Cara from seeing her dad - company chairman Fred Laing and mum Catherine Laing, both 74. Brave Cara finally reported matters to the police having initially been scared that a conviction would affect Leggat's job prospects. Unemployed Leggat was found guilty in June of engaging in a course of behaviour which was abusive to his partner or ex-partner. Sheriff Allan McKay told him at today's sentencing: "On some level these are an incredibly sad set of circumstances. "This offer of a community payback order is a direct alternative to custody. "If you breach it and don't see it through, you will find yourself going to prison." Moment cops 'pelted with eggs & stones' as hundreds of protesters gather in Scots street A four-month non-harassment order was also granted prohibiting Leggat's contact with Cara. The Glasgow Sheriff Court trial heard that Leggat and Cara were married in 2013 and worked together at the firm. Cara stated to the court that between September and November 2022 was "the worst time of my life" and took a panic attack. She recalled that in October 2022 she had made a re-heated sausage casserole dinner for the pair. Leggat told her to serve a "better looking meal" which he said was suitable for a child and called her names. Leggat told wife 'I hope you die in your sleep' The next incident took place in January 2023 as a result of Leggat's birthday plans. She said: "He was most aggrieved and disappointed at a lack of effort to mark his birthday in terms of a meal out. "He also didn't rate his presents which included a sports water bottle that I bought him." The water bottle - said to have been made famous on TikTok - was deemed "childish and ridiculous" by Leggat. Leggat is then told Cara: "I hope you die in your sleep." How you can get help Women's Aid has this advice for victims and their families: Always keep your phone nearby. Get in touch with charities for help, including the Women's Aid live chat helpline and services such as SupportLine. If you are in danger, call 999. Familiarise yourself with the Silent Solution, reporting abuse without speaking down the phone, instead dialing '55'. Always keep some money on you, including change for a pay phone or bus fare. If you suspect your partner is about to attack you, try to go to a lower-risk area of the house – for example, where there is a way out and access to a telephone. Avoid the kitchen and garage, where there are likely to be knives or other weapons. Avoid rooms where you might become trapped, such as the bathroom, or where you might be shut into a cupboard or other small space. If you are a victim of domestic abuse, SupportLine is open Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 6pm to 8pm on 01708 765200. The charity's email support service is open weekdays and weekends during the crisis – messageinfo@ Women's Aid provides a live chat service - available weekdays from 8am-6pm and weekends 10am-6pm. You can also call the freephone 24-hour National Domestic Abuse Helpline on 0808 2000 247. The witness added that Leggat apologised to her for the remark and claimed it was "a bit of banter." The pair were given hospitality tickets to Hampden Park in February 2023 for an Old Firm League Cup Final clash. Cara stated that when they walked home after the match and she was pushed into a bush by Leggat She said: "I ended up in a bush or my back against a bush as a result of the force as a result of the slap to my face." When asked how she felt about the incident, Cara replied that it was "upsetting." Leggat "discouraged" Cara to see her parents which also included a curfew which made her "twitch" when it was close. "I ended up in a bush or my back against a bush as a result of the force as a result of the slap to my face." Prosecutor Siobhan Currie said in her closing submissions: "Ultimately, there was a pattern of behaviour to isolate her." Leggat was lastly violent towards her in November 2024 at the family home in the city's Pollokshields. Leggat slapped her on the forehead and pushed her into a kitchen cabinet which resulted in a thigh injury. Cara told the court that she called her mother and father after the incident and Fred attended their home. The court heard that Fred confronted Leggat and "grabbed him by the scruff of the neck." Fred then got his daughter to contact the police which led to Leggat's arrest later that night. Miss Currie asked Cara why she did not contact the police on an earlier occasion. She replied: "I knew he wanted to stay in the Scottish whisky industry. "From my knowledge he would find it hard to get into the USA and Singapore which are key places in the industry. "I didn't want the man not to get an international job." Leggat, now of Bearsden, East Dunbartonshire, told the court in his evidence that he left the company in 2023 with Cara taking over his role. Duncan McPhie, defending, told the sentencing: "My client admits, accepts and regrets the behaviour. "He is remorseful and regretful and he is sorry. "In all the circumstances, he tenders his apologies to the court. "It is probably too late to apologise to his victim, but he has asked me to apologise the behaviour he was convicted of."

Repair Shop host Jay Blades charged with two counts of rape and faces court next week a year after quitting hit BBC show
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) REPAIR Shop star Jay Blades has been charged with two counts of rape. Police confirmed the allegations against the 55-year-old dad of three from Shropshire. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 4 Jay Blades has been charged with two counts of rape Credit: BBC 4 Police confirmed the rape allegations against the 55-year-old Repair Shop star and father of three Credit: BBC Blades fronted the hit BBC show for seven years before stepping back last year. King Charles appeared alongside him on a special episode in 2022. West Mercia Police confirmed charges against the dad of three, with a magistrates' court date set for next Wednesday. A spokesperson said: 'Jason Blades, 55, of Claverley in Shropshire, has been charged with two counts of rape. "He is due to appear at Telford magistrates' court on 13 August 2025.' Blades was awarded an MBE in 2022 for services to craft while King Charles appeared on the Repair Shop the same year. The TV star is currently awaiting trial on a separate charge of controlling and coercive behaviour against estranged wife Lisa-Marie Zbozen, which he has denied. Blades was arrested in May 2024 - on the same day fitness instructor Lisa announced her decision to end their 18-month marriage. In September Blades was charged. His actions allegedly caused Lisa 'to fear, on at least two occasions, that violence will be used against her'. The presenter pleaded not guilty to the charge — which relates to the period between January 1, 2023 and September 12, 2024 — at a court hearing last October. He is due to attend Worcester crown court today for a pre-trial review regarding the charge. Blades, who married Lisa in an intimate ceremony in Barbados in November 2022, took a break from filming following his arrest. Sources said the decision was also linked to the death of his uncle Richard Braithwaite, 72, in North London in March. A neighbour has been charged with murder. Blades was also dropped from The Repair Shop's live show, Secrets From The Barn, and quietly removed from promotional material. His Repair Shop co-star, horologist Steve Fletcher, revealed in March he had visited Blades while on a break from the live tour. Steve shared a photograph of himself with Blades on Instagram with the caption: 'In a break from our 'Secrets From the Barn' Tour, I popped in to see Jay the other day for a cup of tea and a lovely chat. 'It was great to catch up. Hope to see him again soon.' The BBC later replaced Blades with Roman Kemp for the Christmas special of the popular series. Blades also resigned as chancellor of Buckinghamshire New University 'with immediate effect' following the initial charge. It said: 'We thank Jay for his loyal service to the university and will be making no further comment.' As well as fronting The Repair Shop since 2017, Blades also hosted BBC shows including Money For Nothing and Jay Blades' Home Fix. He also appeared as a contestant on the Strictly Come Dancing Christmas special and fronted a special BBC documentary, Jay Blades: Learning to Read at 51. 4 King Charles appeared alongside Blades on a special episode in 2022 Credit: BBC/Ricochet/Ian West
