French lawyer Frederic Doyez answers journalists prior to the trial of his client Bernard Preynat, a former priest accused for sexual assault, on Jan 14, at the courthouse of Lyon, southeastern France. — AFPA defrocked French Catholic priest accused of sexually abusing dozens of boy scouts decades ago told his trial on Wednesday that he himself had suffered similar assaults in his youth, in an unexpected twist to his defence.
During the second day of the trial in the French city of Lyon, Preynat surprised even his own lawyer in raising for the first time in court the abuses he said he suffered in his youth. “They should have helped me ... They let me become a priest,“ Preynat said, referring to fruitless therapy in 1967 and 1968.
