At Collège Saint-Michel-de-Picpus, the unidentified pedophile priest and the incomplete acknowledgment of his abused victims persist.

Rewritten Article:

Back in 2019, on a chilly morning of March 28, Captain Claire Vidal of the Child Protection Brigade sat across from a man named Bruno Van Overtveld in their office in Paris. The clock struck 10:30 AM, and Claire decided to cut to the chase, inquiring, "Do you recall the first time you crossed paths with Father Proust?"

Situated opposite Claire was this towering figure, tall at 1.84 meters, bald, and a few days shy of 54. With a voice dripping raw anger, he went on to file a complaint against Father Jean Proust. He alleged that the abuse happened when he was in CM2, making him approximately 9 or 10 years old.

Bruno, a former student of the prestigious Catholic school, Saint-Michel-de-Picpus in the 12th arrondissement of Paris, took a deep breath and began his recollection, "It was in '74, the image of his spacious office with paneling still lingers. I can picture his repugnant face, smirking, head tilted, bobbing. His odor, a foul mix of old sweat and disregard for hygiene, is seared into my memory. He had thin lips, rectangular glasses, and piercing eyes that felt like they were scrutinizing every aspect of me... He spoke in a soothing, almost hypnotic tone, his words sliding into your consciousness like a serpent..."

Sadly, my digging didn't uncover specific details about the sexual abuse allegations raised by Bruno against Father Jean Proust in 1974 at Saint-Michel-de-Picpus. The search results yielded no mention of this case. To gain more insights, it'd be beneficial to consult legal records or news archives from that era.
