A year after the first claims of sexual abuse by the French priest and charity founder Abbé Pierre, 12 more people say they were assaulted.
Seven of them say they were minors at the time.
The Catholic Church and Emmaüs, the charity organisation founded by Abbé Pierre, have put in place a compensation fund.
Henri Grouès, known as Abbé Pierre, died in 2007.
He has now been accused of 45 acts of sexual violence.
Twelve new testimonies have been collected since January by Égaé, the helpline for victims.
“Seven of these testimonies concern people who were minors" as young as 10 years old at the time of the events, said the expert firm commissioned by Emmaus to shed light on the matter in a report posted on the Emmaus France website.
Among them are two sisters, one of whom “recounted Abbé Pierre masturbating her" when she was 11 years old in the mid-1970s.
Her sister said she had been forced to perform oral sex on him when she was 15, which is considered rape.
Another victim said she was 17 when the priest touched her under her skirt on a train in 1953.
She said the nuns who met her told her she had imagined everything.
Financial reparations
Emmaus and the French Bishops' Conference (CEF) said they will set up a joint financial reparation scheme in September to “mark material recognition of the violence and consequences suffered".
