Overview
- Philippe Moulin, 54, is being tried before the cour criminelle de l’Hérault on 16 counts tied to 13 alleged victims, including adolescents with autism and other disabilities.
- Two counts of rape concern rectal examinations on minors under 15 that court-appointed medical experts deemed unjustified and aggravated by abuse of authority.
- A psychiatric expert testified that Moulin is in deep denial and described a “perverse, pedophile mechanism,” saying he recast sex toys as medical tools and his home as a clinic.
- Investigators say he presented himself as a nonexistent “pediatric andrologist,” built trust through disability associations, and conducted genital measurements and masturbatory acts during home and car consultations.
- Moulin denies sexual assault, claims his actions were medical, and contests expert findings, as the five-day trial proceeds with testimony from specialists and people close to him.
