Disappearance of Ploërmel Priest Linked to Sexual Misconduct Allegations

Father Christophe Guégan vanished in January 2024, shortly after being informed of a complaint regarding alleged sexual misconduct from the 2010s.

The priest's disappearance occurred on a stormy night, with his car found near the treacherous 'Roches du Diable' site.
Authorities have been unable to locate Guégan despite extensive searches in the rugged terrain.
The complaint against Guégan involves alleged sexual misconduct with a minor during his tenure at a boys' internat in Auray.
The case was transferred from the Lyon prosecutor's office to Lorient, but no formal link between the disappearance and the allegations has been established.
The investigation continues, with the suicide theory being heavily considered by the authorities.
