A French surgeon accused of sexually abusing almost 300 young children over 25 years will be tried this month in the largest case in the country.

Joel Le Scouarnec, 73, is accused of assaulting or raping 299 children, mainly his patients at the hospital, between 1989 and 2014. He is experiencing over 100 rape charges and 150 charges of sexual aggression.

The process from Vannes, the northwest of France, comes after an investigation by the police for years when the police have discovered sexual dolls of children, over 300,000 children’s abuse and several depraved journal entries where they Scouarnec detailed the attacks that his young patients performed.

Scouarnec acknowledged some, but not all the accusations in the next trial that started on February 24, but said that several anecdotes he wrote were only “fantasies”.

However, in many cases, he would have written “I am a pedophile” in his journals.

The indictment brought by Lorient’s public prosecutor, in Brittany, says that the doctor felt “Almighty” and flirted in danger “in a” calculated “way, as it was supposed to have carried out 300 acts against 299 people , an outing of French news reported.

In 2020, he was sentenced to 15 years behind bars for rape and sexual aggression of four minors, including the two granddaughters who are now 30 years old, as well as a child who was a patient at the unit where he worked.

He was arrested for the first time in 2017, after his six-year-old neighbor told his mother that the surgeon exposed and molested.

Finally, he was arrested after the victim’s parents reported Le Toluarnec to the police, at which point he was supposed to live as a reclusion surrounded by dolls of children.

Following his arrest, the officers found the detailed journals that list chronologically and appointing the victims over several years.

Next to the name of each child was a description of the nature of attractive sexual acts.

Investigators also said that, under the pretext of medical documents, the doctor sexually took advantage of children as soon as they were alone in a hospital room.

Usually, he targeted patients so young that they did not remember or understand what was going on.

The court also showed disturbing videos of the surgeon with his dolls.

Questions occurred during the 2020 trial of Le Scouarnec about whether some people could have been aware of alleged abuses.

The next process is likely to raise more uncomfortable questions if the surgeon was protected by his colleagues from the unit in which he worked.

The surgeon was already sentenced in 2005 to a sentence with four months suspended for holding pornographic images for children, after the FBI warned the French authorities.

The members of his family are also said that they knew Le Luuarnec’s pedophilia, but they failed to stop him.

Some of his former patients, who are now, said they remember the surgeon who reached them during medical examinations.

But, because many of his alleged victims were under the effect of anesthetics when their attacks took place, they had no memory of the events and were surprised to be contacted by the police.

Some supposed victims said, however, that horrible disclosures helped them understand the inexplicable trauma with which they had to cope with most of their lives.

According to Francesca Satta, a lawyer representing several alleged victims, among her clients are “the families of two men who remembered and who end up taking their own lives,” the BBC informed.

One of the alleged victims who were assaulted in 1996, while a patient of Le Scouarnec, mentioned only in the media as Marie, told the France Bleu radio station that he is “worried” about the trial.

“On the one hand, it must be solved so that we can go on once and for all. But when we talk about them, there are pictures that return to me again, ”she said.

“I have no knowledge of sexuality at that age, it went unnoticed,” she said. – But my body remembered it very well. I have trauma from that rape. My body is blocked, it doesn’t trust. ‘

The next process will last until June.
