French priest jailed for sexual abuse
Feb 02 2019
COLMAR, France - A French priest Friday
sentenced to five years, two without parole,
on Friday for sexually assaulting four young
female parishioners, one of whom was just
nine when the offenses started, and embezzling
100,000 euros ($115,000) to pay one of his
victims.
His sentence was lighter than that sought by
the public prosecutor, who had asked for four
years in prison followed by three years under
a supervision order.
The trial was held behind closed doors at the
request of three of the four victims, who were
minors at the start of the offenses.
The attacks, which continued after three of
the victims were adults, took place between
2001 and 2006 and between 2011 and 2016.
