Bonnemain replaces Dominique Ambiel, who resigned after he was charged on 20 April for ‘soliciting, accepting or obtaining… sexual relations with a minor who is engaged in prostitution’, according to court officials.
Ambiel, who is due to appear before the Tribunal de Paris on 7 June, denies the charges (PRWeek, 30 April).
Bonnemain is a former journalist, who began his career at daily newspaper France Soir.
