Gabriel Matzneff

Gabriel Matzneff is a French writer who has been accused of pedophilia and sexually abusing children. He is newsworthy due to renewed attention on historical allegations of abuse, particularly those involving a network of individuals in the 7th arrondissement of Paris. Recent news focuses on Inès Chatin, a victim who has publicly recounted her experiences of abuse, naming Matzneff and others.
