The Parque de Paris has dismissed the proceedings opened in December 2022 against the former Archbishop of Paris, Michel Aupetit, for lack of criminal offence. The latter was under investigation for sexual assault on a vulnerable person after a report from the diocese of Paris. He submitted his resignation to Pope Francis in November 2021. He will be able "henceforth" to continue his "pastoral mission" without "difficulty", according to his lawyer. The investigation concerned written exchanges between Mr. A upetit and a parishioner subject to a judicial protection measure, whose apparent consent had to be confirmed.
