He spoke of humanitarian actions for the "disadvantaged" in Nepal or Cambodia: the Paris prosecutor's office requested a trial for Philippe G., a man already convicted of pedophile assaults and accused of having reoffended on dozens of young boys during from his travels.
An association created in 2009
It is now up to the investigating judge in charge of the file to make a decision on the holding of a criminal trial, as requested by the Paris public prosecutor's office in a final indictment of 3 April consulted by AFP. Philippe G., aged 50, has spent his professional life working with children and adolescents. In March 2005, the Thonon (Haute-Savoie) criminal court sentenced him to three years in prison, half of which was suspended, for sexual assaults committed in the early 2000s on several boys aged around ten in a summer camp.
Subjected to a care obligation for three years, he then worked as a cook at a campsite, from which he was removed after holidaymakers complained about his behavior towards children. In 2008, he went to Nepal for six months. On his return to France in 2009, he created an association, "Philmy Voyageurs Solidaires", with the help of family members and relatives.
Boys sometimes six or seven years old
On the association's blog, Philippe G. details educational or humanitarian actions towards the "most disadvantaged populations" in Nepal, Cambodia, Laos or India. But behind the humanitarian commitment, he is accused of having subjected masturbations or blowjobs to many boys of ten years old, sometimes six or seven years old, during showers or while sleeping at night surrounded by several of them.
A first report in May 2014 of a Nepalese NGO alerted the French justice. Others follow, leading to an investigation, a year later. On the run for a while, Philippe G. was arrested in France, then placed under investigation and imprisoned in the fall of 2015, and has been living since November 2018 under judicial supervision. In addition to ACPE and Ecpat, child protection associations, 22 children are civil parties. Contacted, Philippe G.'s lawyer did not respond to AFP.
