Vatican City – Less than a year from the 15-year sentence for the rape of minors by the French justice, the Lebanese Maronite priest Mansour Labaky has now been reduced to the lay state by a decree signed by Pope Francis and the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith. Another priest, Georges Badr, is also in the lay state.
In a note from the assembly of Catholic Patriarchs and Bishops in Lebanon, reported by the Lebanese newspaper in French L’Orient-Le Jour, reads: “We pray for the victims of sexual abuse and for our brothers Georges and Mansour so that this decision will be their salvation”.
Labaky, 82, was convicted in 2013 by the Congregation for sexual abuse on three minors, for a period from 1976 to 1997. Following this conviction, the victims filed a complaint with the French criminal justice system. Labaky founded and directed from 1991 to 1998, in Dover-la-Delivrande in Calvados, near Caen in Normandy, the house “Notre-Dame – Enfants du Liban” to house Lebanese children orphans of the war. Here she abused many girls. On November 9, 2021, he was sentenced in absentia to fifteen years in prison for rape and sexual violence against minors by the Criminal Court of Calvados de Caen.
