Cops Investigate French Bishop for Homosexual Rape churchmilitant.com
A French bishop and former superior general of the Paris Foreign Missions has asked Pope Francis to relieve him of episcopal duties while he is being investigated for attempted rape.
Bishop Georges Colomb, of the diocese of La Rochelle and Saintes in southwestern France, is accused of attempting in 2013 to sodomize a Catholic adult known only as "Nicolas" while giving him a massage in the priest's apartment at the mission's headquarters in Paris.
The 12th French bishop to be accused of sexual abuse in the past year, Colomb was then superior general of the missionary society when the alleged incident occurred.
