Frédéric Mitterand Wrote About Paying "Young Boys"
For Sex During Trips Abroad
The revelations in his 2005 autobiography, “The Bad
Life”, have come back to haunt Mr. Mitterand after he
emerged as one of the most vociferous defenders of Roman
Polanski, the Jewish director accused of raping a
13-year-old girl in the United States in 1977.
In his book, Mr Mitterrand, the nephew of the
late Socialist president François Mitterrand, wrote: “I
got into the habit of paying for boys...All these rituals
of the market for youths, the slave market, excite me
enormously.
“One could judge this abominable spectacle from a moral
stand-point, but it pleases me beyond the reasonable.”
