French Catholic Church seeks investigation into humanitarian hero Abbé Pierre over sexual abuse allegations.

The French Catholic Church has requested a judicial investigation into the late humanitarian priest Abbé Pierre, following new allegations of sexual abuse. The allegations, which emerged posthumously, involve incidents from the 1950s to 2005 and include claims from 57 potential victims. Abbé Pierre, a respected figure who founded the Emmaüs movement, is accused of sexual assault and harassment. The church hopes the investigation will uncover the full extent of the abuse and address systemic failures.
