Jean Michel Ardolade is a former member of The Family. On June 4, 1993, he was arrested and jailed on charges of sexually abusing his daughters, then aged 15, 13, and 11 years old, over a period of several years[1][2] On the same day, his wife was also arrested and jailed on charges of knowing about the abuse but failing to report the crimes against her children.[1] In May 1997, he was sentenced by the Criminal Court of Alpes-Maritimes (France) to 19 years in prison.[3][4][5]

A 2006 book by Sam Ajemian listed the following information about Mr. Ardolade:

"FRANCE. A former member of the Family was sentenced to 19 years in prison for sexually abusing his three daughters. He told the court he was teaching his daughters about sex. His lawyer stated that his client's behavior was a direct result of his indoctrination in the Family. His wife was also sentenced to 3 or 4 years in prison for not reporting her husband's crimes to the authorities. "[6]
