    • Abstract:
      The article presents information on the malicious accusations made against the French priest Dominique Wiel along with 12 others. They were accused, convicted and jailed for involvement in a case of pedophilia. They were released late last year after the withdrawal of all charges. They had to suffer four years of turmoil and three years of imprisonment. The disclosure of the truth of the case, which depended on an adult's confession and testimony of children grilled by experts, has called for judicial reform in France.
