After shocking Pelicot crimes, French surgeon to face trial in child sex abuse case

Surgeon Joel Le Scouarnec, 74, is facing trial for the aggravated rape and sexual assault of 299 victims, many of whom are children, scheduled for February 24, 2025, in Vannes, France.
Before his trial, Le Scouarnec was previously convicted in 2020 for raping a 6-year-old neighbor and two nieces, as well as a 4-year-old patient.
Many alleged victims suffered post-traumatic stress symptoms, with claims arising from incidents where they were anesthetized during the abuse.
Survivor François expressed feelings of betrayal by authorities, questioning why Le Scouarnec was allowed to continue working with children after previous accusations.
