Abbé Pierre sexual abuse scandal
The Abbé Pierre sexual abuse scandal regards the numerous sexual assaults that French Catholic priest and Emmaus charity organization founder Abbé Pierre allegedly committed over a period from the 1950s to the 2000s, in addition to the complicity and lack of action by multiple religious and humanitarian organizations associated with Pierre towards such cases until 2024. These cases were revealed on 17 July 2024 by the publication of a report commissioned from the Egaé firm by Emmaüs International.
