It's a bomb: "a Saint with no mercy"
Abbé Pierre was a sexual predator and many people in the church as well as the Emmaüs Charity knew it. New terrible revelations have been added to those of this summer.
On July 17, in an Emmaüs report, 7 testimonies after an internal investigation accuse Abbé Pierre of sexual assault and rape.
This week, 17 new testimonies, some of which are from women who were minors at the time and most often vulnerable, were revealed.
At the microphone of Laetitia Cherel, senior reporter for Radio France, one testimony had a bomb effect; that of a woman whose mother was a victim of Abbé Pierre.
A woman who is raising her daughter alone asks Abbé Pierre for help. The abbé helps her, but demands sexual compensation. It is her daughter, 40 years later, who tells the story.
She describes that he took her to a Parisian apartment to which he had the key to spend the night with her, he masturbated in front of her, he asked her to satisfy him and he offered her sexual relations with another woman. The sight of 2 women together excited him and she felt deeply shocked that Abbé Pierre was considered a saint when she only saw his perverted nature.
