The suspect was arrested and charged with murder, torture and resisting arrest. French authorities are treating the crime as a revenge killing.
Despite a long history of allegations, Matassoli was shuffled around to different locations and remained on the church payroll until 2018, something church officials chalked up to an “ecclesiastical error.”
The sister of one abuse victim, identified only as Colette, offered a graphic description to FranceInfo of Matassoli’s alleged crimes inflicted on her brother Jacques.
“There were showers, there were photo scenes: The priest asked Jacques to get naked on his bed. Matassoli also masturbated on my brother,” she told the outlet.
