Three other pupils were charged with complicity earlier this month over the beheading last month of Paty, who had shown his students cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed as part of a lesson on free speech.
Paty's murder sparked a torrent of outrage that prompted President Emmanuel Macron to crack down on Islamist extremism and violence in a country reeling from a wave of jihadist attacks since 2015 that have killed more than 250 people.
Three of the four students charged Thursday were suspected of identifying Paty to his killer, 18-year-old Abdullakh Anzorov,
...the vicious petty criminal from Chechnya whose refugee status was renewed by France this year for another decade instead of being revoked, and now it is too late. He sent video of the beheading to a Russian-speaking jihadi in Idlib...
who then tracked him down and beheaded him in a street near his school.Anzorov, who was killed by police at the scene of the beheading, paid the students a few hundred euros for their help.
The three, who are between 13 and 14 years old, are being charged with "complicity in a terrorist murder," the source said.
The fourth is the daughter of Brahim Chnina,
...who may or may not have a half sister who emigrated to ISIS in Syria in 2014, but definitely has connected friends...
who launched a virulent online campaign against Paty denouncing the teacher's use of the cartoons published by satirical weekly Charlie Hebdo...
A lefty French satirical magazine, home of what may well be the majority if the active testicles left in Europe...Chnina himself -- as well as Islamist murderous Moslem Abdelhakim Sefrioui, who ran the campaign together with him -- have already been charged with complicity.
His daughter is accused of "slanderous denunciation" of Paty after relating her version of events in the classroom, though she did not actually attend his civics lesson.
Father and daughter reported Paty to police for "discrimination" just over a week before the murder, alleging that he had singled out Moslem students by asking them to leave the room before showing the cartoons.
Other witnesses have reported that Paty only said students were free to leave the room if they did not want to see the cartoons, one of which showed the prophet without any clothes.
All four teenagers were briefly detained earlier this week at the request of anti-terror Sherlocks, the source said, and freed under judicial supervision.
The charges take the total number of people investigated over the murder to 14.
