Montpellier alumnus of the prestigious Catholic school St. Aloysius Gonzaga, in the 16th arrondissement of Paris, condemned pedophile acts that he allegedly suffered in the 50s but the management refused to launch an investigation as the demand since 2010.
If Jean-Pierre Martin-Vallas did not dare denounce earlier touching which he says he was victim in 1953, it is because his parents were relatives of the father Jesuit who attacked. “I waited until they were dead to finally talk.”
It was during the summer of 1953, during a summer camp that religious assaulted. He was only eight years.
“It’s old, but I remember it like it was yesterday. When he passed me, he got into bed He started stroking my chest, running her hands under my pajama top and at one point, he spent his hand inside my pajama bottoms, buttocks. I responded, he got out of bed and I have not heard about it. “
In 2006, Jean-Pierre Martin-Vallas contacted 1000 alumni of the institution whether some of them were also victims of deviance from this man. “Ten reported having been assaulted me,” he says.
Among them Pierre-Guy, 72, who remembers, in the office of the Jesuit priest, a very large area with a electric train, train stations, subways, bridges … “I’ve never seen, I have never had the right because to enter the premises, you had to be initiated and it was given to a small group, an elite, says Jean-Pierre Martin-Vallas. And they were the few able to participate in the game of the electric train. There was a great mystery, a big taboo and then a rumor … “
The establishment finally taking the measure of the problem
Despite this evidence, the establishment refuses any investigation.
“it was an end of inadmissibility,” says Jean-Pierre Martin-Vallas who was served with the same refusal by the Provincial (the representative body of the Jesuits in France) which estimated concerned that the priest died “there is no interest in an investigation.”
So, Jean-Pierre Martin-Vallas eventually enter the Vatican where a welcoming group of victims was established in 2014.
in recent weeks, however, after the media storm caused by Barbarin case in Lyon on Grenet father, one of the leaders of the school, which was also opposed to opening an internal investigation, appears to take the measure of the problem
Yesterday, he said in effect. “Today, one thing is certain, I plan to say to people who have been victims we are available to listen. Do I have to do an investigation? I honestly can not answer you today … “
Jean-Pierre Martin-Vallas is pleased with this progress even though he knows he will not get redress from the justice since the offending Jesuit died and that most of the allegations are prescribed.
“Tell releases anyway,” believes Jean-Pierre Martin-Vallas.
This case shows, once again, the church’s difficulty taking into account the victims of pedophilia committed by one of its members.
