The Independent highlights the impending trial of surgeon Joel Le Scouarnec, faced with serious charges of aggravated rape and sexual assault involving 299 alleged victims, many of whom were children. The case, emerging from an initial incident in 2017, has grown to be the largest child sexual abuse trial in France's history. Authorities discovered a disturbing collection of evidence during police searches, leading to extensive investigations into his crimes that span nearly three decades. Public interest in the case reflects broader concerns about child protection and accountability in the medical profession.
On February 24, Le Scouarnec, 74, will face trial on those charges in the Breton town of Vannes, in France's largest ever child sexual abuse case.
When police in western France searched surgeon Joel Le Scouarnec's home after he raped his six-year-old neighbour in 2017, they found a cache of sex dolls, wigs and child pornography.
