French philosopher Michelle Foucault was exposed to sexual crimes against local boys while living in Tunisia, Africa.



According to the British media The Sunday Times on the 28th of local time, French scholar and contemporaneous activity with Foucault, Gi Sorman, claimed that Foucault committed sexual exploitation against boys aged 8 to 10 when Foucault stayed in Tunisia in the late 1960s.



The Sormans were heard based on eyewitness accounts when Foucault visited Sidibuside in northern Tunisia during the Easter holiday in April 1969.



At that time, local children followed Foucault and asked, "How am I?" and Foucault threw money to the children and replied, "See you at 10pm in the place you've always seen," Sormans claims.



Sormans revealed that the place Foucault was referring to was a local cemetery and that "Fuco had sex with the boys on a gravestone."



At the time, it wasn't even discussed whether the boys agreed, Sorman recalls.




"Fuco wouldn't have done this in France," Sorman said. "White imperialism and colonialism must have had an impact."



At the time, he regretted not being able to report Foucault to the police or disclose the incident to the media, accusing Foucault of being "morally ugly."



Sorman also added that there were many journalists and witnesses who were accompanying him at the time, so many were aware of Foucault's actions.



He said, "But no one talked about this. Foucault was the king of philosophy, and in France he was like a god."



Foucault is a world-renowned philosopher known for his books such as'History of Madness' and'Surveillance and Punishment'.



The search for power, insanity, and sex has influenced not only structuralist philosophy, but also postmodernism and religious philosophy.



Earlier, Foucault also signed a petition to legalize sex with a 13-year-old child in 1977.
