PARIS - French police launched an appeal on Tuesday for more witnesses and victims to come forward in the case of a writer accused of raping a minor and who repeatedly described relationships with underage teens in his work.
"If you were a victim or a witness of actions of a sexual nature which could be of interest to this investigation, the police are ready to hear you," said an appeal posted by French police. Matzneff has never made any secret of his preference for sex with adolescent girls and boys, including on trips to Asia.'NO FORGOTTEN VICTIMS' Paris prosecutor Remy Heitz told Europe 1 radio that as well as the events described by Springora, the investigation"will seek to identify any other possible victims who could have suffered violations of the same nature, on national territory or abroad".
But his publisher Gallimard said in January it was halting the sale of his works, and Matzneff also risks losing two major state honours as officer of Arts and Letters and knight of the Order of National Merit.
