The late French Catholic priest Abbe Pierre, a lifelong campaigner for the homeless and the poor, has been accused of sexual assault, the charities he founded said, adding they believed the accusations and stood by the victims of abuse.
“Our organizations salute the courage of the people who have testified and, through their words, have enabled these realities to be brought to light. We believe them, we know that these intolerable acts have left their mark and we stand by their side,“ Emmaus added. Henri-Antoine Groues, known as Abbe Pierre, was a Roman Catholic priest who renounced wealth to campaign for the homeless and became one of France’s most revered men before dying aged 94 in 2007.
