French authorities last month opened a preliminary inquiry into allegations that the former archbishop of Paris had committed 'sexual assault on a vulnerable person', prosecutors said on Tuesday.
The probe was opened based on a report filed by the diocese of Paris, the prosecutors said. FILE PHOTO
French broadcaster BFMTV reported that the relationship was with a vulnerable person under judicial protection. A diocese spokeswoman in 2021 said Aupetit "had ambiguous behaviour with a person he was very close to", adding that it was "not a loving relationship", nor sexual.Aupetit was archbishop during the April 2019 fire that ravaged the Notre-Dame cathedral in Paris, regularly appearing on television to express anguish over the disaster and rally funds for the rebuilding effort.
The French church is still reeling from the publication in October 2021 of a devastating report by an independent commission, which estimated that Catholic clergy had abused 216,000 children since 1950.
