Jack Mathieu Émile Lang is a French politician. During the presidencies of François Mitterrand and then Jacques Chirac, he was several times a minister, holding several times the portfolios of Culture and National Education, as well as government spokesman. He is mentioned in relation to several France/VIPaedophile affairs, where he has seeming impunity.


VIPaedophile accusations

Coral blue ballet

Full article: The Coral blue ballet

The Coral blue ballet was a case of sexual abuse of minors that was exposed in France in 1982. Highly publicized at the time, the case is marked by the questioning of several public figures, which gave rise to a certain suspicion of manipulation or cover-up, by either police or politics. Many political or intellectual personalities, often oriented to the left, were cited in the denunciations. Jack Lang, then minister of culture, was in particular accused.

Rosella Hightower school

Jack Lang's name is mentioned in 1988 in the Rosella Hightower case, a Cannes dance school where a 15-year-old Spanish boy committed suicide, bullied for refusing sexual advances from teachers. One of the teachers was prosecuted for indecent assault on minors, but was released for lack of witnesses. Yves Bertrand, former head of the police intelligence service, wrote in a memo that a dance teacher "put teenagers, students of the center, at the disposal of pedophile adults" ; he adds that "the adjutant in charge of the case confided in private, at the time of the events, that the judicial wiretaps brought out the names of Jack and Monique Lang".[1]

Morocco

On May 28, 2011, Le Figaro reported that a few years ago, police officers from Marrakech, Marocco raided a villa in a palm grove at night where French people were caught "having fun" with young boys. The Moroccan police arrested the adults caught red-handed, including "a former French minister". The case was taken care of by the French embassy and the former French minister was immediately returned to France by plane. The case was hushed up and no prosecution was initiated, in Morocco or in France.[2] Two days later, on Canal+, Luc Ferry in turn claims, admitting that he has no evidence, that a "former minister" had "fucked in Marrakech in an orgy with little boys" without being able to give a name under penalty of conviction for defamation[3]. The rumors revolve around Jack Lang and the former Minister of Foreign Affairs Philippe Douste-Blazy[4][5]. Yves Bertrand's notebooks, seized by the court in relation to the Clearstream case, specify: "Lang at the Mamounia, in November [2001], hit on little boys"[6]

Defending people accused of sexual crimes

Jack Lang has repeatedly supported public figures accused in cases of pedophilia and other sexual crimes, Alain Sarde and Robert De Niro in 1998[7], Frédéric Mitterrand in 2009[8], Roman Polanski in 2010[9], Dominique Strauss-Kahn in 2011[10], Woody Allen in 2018[11], Christophe Girard en 2020[12] and Bastien Vivès[13] in 2023.

Jeffrey Epstein

According to Lang, he and Jeffrey Epstein met several years ago at a dinner organized in honor of Woody Allen at the Parisian home of Camilla Crociani, Bourbon Princess of the Two Sicilies. "Epstein was a charming, courteous and pleasant person," says Jack Lang, who evokes a "passing relationship". "I only went to his place on Avenue Foch once for lunch. It is true that he was often accompanied by some pretty women, but who were obviously not minors". Lang said he does not remember having met Ghislaine Maxwell, but acknowledges having known her father well. "Robert Maxwell is someone that everyone met in the years 1985-1986 during the maelström around the privatization of the channel TF1[14]

Epstein bankrolled a French organization whose executives have ties to Lang. The name of the group, L’Association Pour La Promotion De La Politique Culturelle Nationale Menée Dans Les Années 80 Et 90 Du Xxème Siècle, translates to "Association for the Promotion of National Cultural Policy Conducted in the 80s and 90s of the Twentieth Century." The group’s mission, listed in French incorporation documents, is as vague as its title: to promote the major leaders and achievements of these decades’ cultural policy. The French organization, which has no website or social media presence, launched in 2018 - the same year it received $57,897 from Epsteins' Gratitude America. Two of Lang's former aides are officers of the association, while one current employee of Lang’s office is a representative of the group.[15]
