Matzneff never made any secret of his sexual preference for adolescent girls and boys and it did not stop him winning the Renaudot prize in 2013

PARIS, France – French writer Gabriel Matzneff said in an interview Wednesday, January 29 that he"regrets" his trips to Asia to have sex with children, claiming that at the time"no one ever said it was a crime."

"A tourist should not behave like that," the 83-year-old told a French television channel in Italy, where he has fled to escape the storm the revelations stirred. "I find it stupid, extravagant that in 2020 I am facing grief for books I wrote more than 40 years ago," he said."An adult should turn their head away and resist the temptation. Naturally, if I did something that was not good I regret it.

"At the time," Matzneff added,"people talked of inciting a minor to debauchery, or indecent assault... But nobody ever spoke of crime."He also was awarded major state honours in France: Officer of Arts and Letters and Knight of the Order of National Merit.
