Overview

Pedopolis is a documentary archive dedicated to cases of child sexual abuse, primarily in France and Europe. Created in 2011, it compiles news articles, court transcripts, testimonies, and numerous links to original sources of information, thereby constituting a database for monitoring media coverage and legal proceedings related to these cases.

Note: Pedopolis addresses serious topics involving real victims. The site is intended for citizens, families, professionals, and journalists seeking to understand institutional mechanisms and documented cases—not for the sake of sensationalism, but to ensure that impunity does not become the norm.

Editorial Methodology

Pedopolis applies a systematic validation checklist to every archived article. Two indicators are displayed at the top of each publication: confirmation of the date (“Date: OK”) and confirmation of the source (“Source: OK”). This rigorous approach allows readers to distinguish verified primary documents from analytical or testimonial content that has not yet been cross-checked.

Sources are explicitly identified at two levels: mainstream sources (national press, public broadcasters, institutions) and alternative sources (citizen media, whistleblowers, collectives). This transparency allows everyone to assess for themselves the credibility of the information they consult.
