French investigators seek further victims of paedophile surgeon
Briefly

The trial of surgeon Joel Le Scouarnec revealed a shocking admission as he confessed to sexually assaulting 299 young patients. Having initially denied many allegations, he acknowledged all charges during court proceedings, leading to further investigations by the prosecutor's office in Rennes. Much of the abuse occurred while victims were either under anaesthesia or recovering from surgery between 1989 and 2014 in multiple medical facilities. This turning point in the trial has raised the possibility of uncovering additional victims as investigators examine his extensive notes.
"I have a duty to tell the truth," Joel Le Scouarnec admitted, acknowledging his crimes against countless young patients, marking a critical turning point in the case.
The public prosecutor's office in Rennes is now actively seeking to identify and trace additional victims following Le Scouarnec's chilling admission that his handwritten notes contained over 300 names.
