File photo dated February 1, 2004. Abbe Pierre attends a ceremony at Trocadero square in Paris, France, marking the 50th anniversary of his address to the nation on the cold February in 1954. 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.
