Gabriel Matzneff

Gabriel Michel Hippolyte Matzneff (born 12 August 1936) is a French writer and pedophile. During the 1980s, he made several trips to the Philippines where, as he described in one of his books, he raped pre-adolescent boys, some as young as 8 years old. Matzneff remained sheltered from prosecution throughout his literary career, benefiting from wide and enthusiastic support within French literary circles.
