Joël Le Scouarnec, a 74-year-old former surgeon, is on trial accused of aggravated rape and sexual assault against 299 victims, predominantly minors, over a span of 30 years. With a history of previous convictions, including a suspended sentence for child pornography and a 15-year prison term for abuse of four minors, his current trial is deemed unprecedented in France for its scale. Expected to last four months, it necessitates a specially prepared courtroom to accommodate the large number of affected parties.
