The tiktokeur Benjamin Ledig was found guilty of non-pecuniary damage by the Paris court on April 22.

It was this young man who had performed, filmed and posted on the social network, last February, a lascivious dance in a crop-top in the chapel of the Saint-Paul-Saint-Louis church, located in the 4th arrondissement of Paris.

As CNews

reports

, the parish priest behind the complaint reacted to this conviction by publishing a column on the Aleteia site on Monday, April 25.

He recalled that places of worship are sanctuaries where “nothing can be organized without the prior agreement of their leaders”.

However, the influencer had not requested permission to perform this dance.

“Attack on the religious assignment of places”

To justify its decision, the Paris court referred to the law of 1905 separating the Church and the State, which provides for this prior agreement.

The magistrates recognized an “attack on the religious assignment of the places”.

Considering the fact that the young tiktokeur had refused to remove his two videos from the social network, the court found that moral damage had been caused to the parish priest and ordered him to pay him 2,500 euros in compensation for this. title as well as 2,000 euros for legal costs.
