Beloved Priest Abbe Pierre Accused Of Sexual Assault
File photo dated October 3, 2002 shows Abbe Pierre celebrating his 90th birthday in Neuilly Plaisance near Paris, France. Legendary French priest and a life-long advocate of the homeless was accused of committing acts that would amount to “sexual assault or sexual harassment,” the international foundation he established said in a statement Wednesday. Abbe Pierre, who died in 2007, was one of France’s most beloved public figures. The founder of the international Emmaus Community for the poor, Abbe Pierre had served as France’s conscience since the 1950s, when he persuaded Parliament to pass a law, still on the books, forbidding landlords to evict tenants during winter.
