French Prosecutors Search for Victims After Man Accused of Abusing 89 Minors Over 55 Years
French prosecutors have launched an extensive search for potential additional victims after a man was accused of sexually abusing 89 minors over a span of 55 years. The staggering scope of the alleged crimes has sent shockwaves through France, prompting calls for a thorough investigation into how the abuse continued undetected for more than half a century.
Authorities believe there may be more victims who have not yet come forward, and prosecutors are appealing to the public for information. The case raises deeply troubling questions about institutional failures and the mechanisms that allowed the accused to continue his alleged abuse for decades. It echoes other high-profile cases in France that have forced a national reckoning with sexual violence and the protection of minors, leading to calls for stronger safeguards and accountability.
