For the record I do not believe this claim until proven otherwise.
(see related sources following the post)
Police say the priest raped three women in the autumn of 2010 after he met them at the private religious school Ecole Notre-Dame-de-la Sablonniere in Goussonville, west of Paris, which he was running at the time, according to French media reports.
A French fundamentalist priest raped and tortured three teachers at a private religious school he ran during so-called exorcisms, leaving one the victims so disturbed she couldn’t describe events to investigators.
For years the women did not come forward to the police and one of them was so traumatized that she couldn’t even describe what had happened to her. The 40-year old priest was charged on Wednesday on charges of cruelty, torture and rape. He is now being held without bail
The cleric had allegedly raped one teacher to purge her of the “evil” of a previous sexual assault and used his “spiritual influence” to convince two other female teachers to experience similar exorcisms.
While being interrogated earlier this week the priest allegedly told detectives that he had only “simulated” the sexual acts, which the victims claimed were acts of torture using a broom, a toothbrush and some scissors.
An unnamed police source told the French news site Toute Les Nouvelles that the priest suffered from mental problems.
“He’s obsessed with sex. In his own way he was fighting fire with fire,” the source said.
The priest has already been tried several years ago in a religious hearing by his sect of St. Pius X, which sentenced him to two years in a monastery.
The Society of St Pius X is a congregation of traditionalist catholic priests founded in 1970 by Archbishop Marcel Lefebvre and refuses the authority of the Vatican. It has over 600,000 followers in 62 countries but has been dogged by accusations of anti-Semitism and far-right leanings.

Really? A week before Holy Week the news media publishes a lie about an unnamed SSPX priest who raped three women during an Exorcism. What is the name of the priest? Simple question, please answer. Another question why is this coming to light now. The "crime" took place in 2010. Four years later this is brought to light. Oh and please produce the video press conference of the Versailles prosecutor Vincent Lesclou, oh wait, the prosecutor just told a unnamed source at the Agence France-Presse about the incident. And why keep the name of the priest a secret to protect the victims? Sounds stupid. Naming the priest, and not naming any of the victims would be enough to protect the victims - if there were any.
According to various sources at the time of the allegations he was not with the SSPX!!
After this alleged 2010 incident, he subjected two other teachers to similar actions.
According to the newspaper, the Society convicted the priest in a canonical trial and sent him to a convent for two years.
When taken into custody on April 7 and questioned, the priest asserted that the women had consented to his actions and that he was merely mimicking acts rather than committing them.
