French Surgeon Joël Le Scouarnec Faces Trial for Sexual Abuse of 299 Patients, Mostly Children
Joël Le Scouarnec, a former French surgeon, is set to stand trial for the shocking allegations of sexually abusing 299 patients, the majority of whom were children. Over nearly three decades, he reportedly kept a disturbing diary documenting his crimes, which included details of his abuses and statements admitting his paedophilia. This case has drawn attention not only for the scale of the allegations but also for systemic failures that allowed such abuses to continue. Victims have expressed outrage, claiming that there were indications of his behavior that went unaddressed by authorities. As France prepares for what is considered the largest child sexual abuse trial in its history, the public anxiously awaits the unfolding details of this horrific case.
