In a shocking revelation, Marie, a French mother, learned in 2019 that she had been a victim of Joel Le Scouarnec, a surgeon accused of abusing hundreds of children. The investigation revealed disturbing details, including handwritten notes from the surgeon dating back to when she was a child. Now facing trial for multiple charges of rape and sexual abuse, the case raises serious concerns about how he was allowed to practice for years despite a prior conviction related to child abuse images. The culture of silence among health authorities is also under scrutiny.
Faced with the blank in Marie's memory, the police showed her handwritten notes in Le Scouarnec's black books from 1996, when she was 10 years old and he removed her appendix.
During the four-month trial, local health and hospital authorities will also face difficult questions over why the surgeon...was allowed to continue practising for almost a decade after a conviction for accessing online child abuse images.
There was an omerta. People knew but said nothing. If there hadn't been this silence, then he'd have been banned from seeing children in 2004 and there would have been far fewer victims.
The average age of his alleged victims was 11. The surgeon, who entitled one document my paedophile letters, denies penetration with his penis.
