A 64-year-old man in eastern France wants to see his former school chaplain convicted for “turning him into a paedophile”, over 50 years after the cleric abused him.
The abuse began when the 64-year-old man was just a 12-year-old pupil.
His boarding school chaplain, who is now an 82-year-old retiree, would regularly subject him to sexual assault and the abuse carried for several years.
Decades later, the victim became a paedophile himself, and was convicted after fondling a 15-year-old girl in the street.
The man has since grown distant from his wife and two children, and moved back in with his mother in Ain, eastern France, as he tries to rebuild his life.
