3 students were killed in a shooting at the American University of Virginia

 

The French newspaper "Le Monde" reported that the authorities had recently arrested a priest in Paris on charges of raping a 15-year-old minor and luring him through the use of drugs.

Le Monde said that this priest who heads the diocese of "Rennes", born in 1970, was also charged with endangering the lives of "others" and illegal drug use.

The authorities suspect the priest of using drugs to control the minor and subject him to his desires without the slightest resistance.

social communication

Le Monde quoted a source close to the file that the priest got to know the minor through a social networking application, then met him in the capital, Paris, before going up with him into a hotel room, offering him drugs, and raping him.

Le Monde quoted Radio "RTL" as saying that the minor quickly told his colleagues who had located him by tracing the location of his phone, and told the security services that arrested the priest.

wholesale attacks

The French bishops had recognized in November last year the responsibility of the Catholic Church in the country - as an institution - for the exposure of hundreds of thousands of children to sexual abuse in churches and its institutions in the country since 1950.

This came after an investigative committee headed by Jean-Marc Sauvier revealed that about 216,000 people under the age of 18 had been sexually assaulted since 1950 at the hands of priests and clergymen in France, and the number of abusers was estimated at about 3,000 during 70 years.

The report of the commission at the time indicated that the cases of sexual abuse committed by employees of schools and private institutions of the Catholic Church in France amounted to 114 thousand cases, during the same period of time, bringing the number to 330,000 victims.

Among the 45 recommendations included in the report, the committee recommended determining the amounts incurred by each victim according to the “damage suffered,” calling for these compensations to be paid “from the property of the aggressors and the French Church.”
