At the village of Saint-Léger-des-Vignes, in the centre of France, a house in corner and a parish garden surrounded of a grid. Father Glencross lived there with his 5 sons, teenagers whom he adopted. All came from Columbia, except the last one who was Peruvian. As soon as one left, Father Glencross would return to Colombia and come back with another young boy.

The priest had a lot of sense of humour and influential friends, of which Hubert Védrine, the spokesman of the French presidency, who had taken residence at his place for electoral reasons. There were rumors some would confuse with village gossips. Many thought of him as a holy man, when in summer of 1990, the gendarmerie discovered 30.000 pictures at his place: the largest European studio of photographs with a paedophile character.

He was friend of Pastor Doucé, a homosexual militant, former lover of Philippe Carpentier, president of the C.R.I.E.S. ring, and of Michel Caignet, a neo-Nazi militant whose face had been burnt with vitriol. That one edited "Gaie France Magazine" a monthly review, sold at 15.000 specimens, of which a Portuguese version. The homosexual community reproached him the paedophile tendencies of the magazine and tried to have him excluded. Pastor Doucé then came at his rescue, by taking over the administration of the subscriptions ofIt was published by Caignet. he would take the pictures of Father Glencross for their publication in the magazine.

The neo Nazi and the pastor had as a collaborator, Jean-Manuel Vuillaume, a photographer who held in Paris, a art gallery that exposed so-called "artistic" photographs of naked little boys, two hundred meters away of the Senate. His income was important for those days, reaching nearly 350.000 euro per year. Beside, he had a pied-à-terre in Bogotá, capital of Colombia where the Father Glencross was going to "adopt" several of his "sons". He would shoot pornographic films with children, of which the cassettes were sold in France for 120 euro each.

Hardly Father Glencross was imprisoned, Father Doucé was kidnapped. The first one died of a heart attack, and the second was murdered of several bullets in forest of Rambouillet, close to Versailles. Caignet and Vuillaume benefited from a partial withdrawal of case. The sons of father Glencross seems to have been forgotten. The Toro Bravo case was closed, without the spokesman of the French presidency being heard.

A Toro Bravo N°2 was opened at the end of 94, by the seizure of a video cassette at a Parisian executive, with the surviving accused of Toro Bravo N°1. A large police operation led to 72 arrests, of which of another collaborator of the band: Bernard Alapetite, a film manager who would share his production between art and films of pedophile character. The latter led the police to the network "Teenager 71", of which 814 house search, 686 questionings, 103 inquiries and 5 suicides.

The "Toro Bravo" network won its particle "Zandvoort" in 1998, when the photographs of Vuillaume where found in the archive of the Dutch network, sold on Internet via its branches Apollo and Wonderland.
