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.
