The largest child sexual abuse trial in France began in Brittany, with former surgeon Joël Le Scouarnec facing charges for raping or abusing 299 victims over 25 years. Le Scouarnec admitted to committing 'despicable acts' and is accused of disguising his abuses as medical procedures. The trial follows a seven-year investigation initiated by a six-year-old victim's report. Le Scouarnec has a history of previous convictions for similar offenses. Activists are calling for better victim support and accountability for those who ignored past warnings about Le Scouarnec's behavior. Teljes cikk (Euronews.com)
