Overview

• The Catholic education authority in Loire-Atlantique and the Nantes diocese said testimonies cover incidents at Collège-Lycée Saint‑Stanislas from 1958 to 1995.
• Accounts from victims or their families describe rapes, sexual assaults and touching in the boarding school, with at least one case during a school-organized holiday.
• Nine men and one woman were identified as victims who were middle-school students at the time, and at least one lay staff member is implicated alongside the clergy.
• Five priests named in the testimonies are now deceased, and the reports have been transmitted to judicial authorities.
• Testimonies were collected between February and June 2025; the diocese launched an archival review to identify any concealment and the bishop issued a public call for additional testimonies.
