The biggest child abuse trial in French history will open in Brittany this month amid anger that a surgeon was allegedly able to attack hundreds of young patients over decades, targeting some when they were under anaesthetic, in the post-surgery recovery room or in their hospital beds.
France is braced for serious questions over child protection amid harrowing testimony from a record number of alleged victims of Joël Le Scouarnec, 73, who worked as a digestive surgeon. He was employed in public and private hospitals across Brittany and the west of France, often operating on children with appendicitis.
Despite being flagged to the French authorities by the FBI in 2004 for viewing child abuse imagery on the dark web, for which he was convicted and given a four-year suspended prison sentence in France in 2005, he was never prevented from working with children and continued to gain prestigious jobs in hospitals across the country.
Even if they don’t have registries, I’m sure they could’ve done better than a four-year suspended prison sentence. I’m sure they could’ve also achieved not allowing him to work with children ever again. Unless they also don’t have things like IDs and telephones and email. I suppose if smoke signals are their only means of communication, then it’s understandable how someone caught with CSAM was allowed to keep working with children in “prestigious” hospitals that willingly hired him.
IMO, the judge that sentenced this guy to a four-year suspended prison sentence needs to be investigated and publically disgraced too. Same with the hospitals that hired him.
I guess France is the same country where “Lemon Incest” debuted at #2.
Lol what the actual fuck. Also, wasn’t their president groomed by his teacher when he was a teenager, who he is currently married to?
I wish I didn’t know that existed. It’s from the same country that outlawed paternity testing in 1995 and outlawed incest in 2010.
