Philippe Servaty

Philippe Servaty is a Belgian journalist who formerly worked for Brussels-based newspaper Le Soir.

Servaty traveled to Morocco, especially to the city of Agadir, several times between 2001 and 2005, where he engaged in sexual activities with poor young girls, photographing some of them naked and/or engaged in sexual acts. Moroccan authorities asked Belgium to press charges against Servaty. Belgium declined, as the photos are not illegal under Belgian law. Servaty said in an interview that he was a sex addict and apologized for his actions.
