Prosecutors say Joel Le Scouarnec abused and raped hundreds of people, most of whom were children, over a 25-year period
Joel Le Scouarnec, a former surgeon, is accused of sexually abusing 299 individuals, primarily children, over 25 years in France. Targeting young patients, some under anesthesia, he allegedly documented his crimes in diaries found in 2017. He previously served 15 years for abusing four minors, including nieces. Facing over 100 charges, his trial highlights the psychological impact on victims, many of whom don't recall the abuse due to their age or anesthesia.
