The recent trial of Joel Le Scouarnec, dubbed France's most notorious paedophile, uncovered the shocking reality of 299 abuse victims over a span of 25 years. Prosecutor Stephane Kellenberger criticized the judicial system for its failure to deliver adequate justice, as Le Scouarnec received a sentence of only 20 years. Many victims’ families voiced concerns about the legal system, especially after some victims tragically ended their lives before the trial. The case has prompted investigations into potential systemic failures that allowed such abuses to occur.
