A priest in the French Basque country was accused
of sexually assaulting a teenager on Wednesday and a former monk was to
appear in court on Friday in ongoing revelations of paedophilia in the
French Catholic church. Lyon Archbishop Philippe Barbarin is currently
under investigation for allegations that he covered up cases of sexual
assault on minors in his diocese.
The mother of the alleged victim
filed a case for sexual assault on her son in the 1990s against a priest
in Bayonne on Wednesday and he has been relieved of his functions.http://en.rfi.fr/france/20160428-two-more-paedophile-cases-hit-french-catholic-church
