French ex-surgeon says ‘ready to admit’ to some rapes at mass abuse trial
Former French surgeon Joel Le Scouarnec, on trial for allegedly sexually abusing nearly 300 patients, mostly children, declared in court that he was "done with lying" and prepared to admit to some acts of rape. This announcement came after testimony revealed the doctor kept detailed records of the abuse.
During the investigation, Le Scouarnec had previously admitted to raping boys under the guise of rectal examinations and sexually assaulting girls. However, he had dismissed his written accounts of raping young female patients as "exaggeration" or "fantasy." The 74-year-old is currently on trial in Vannes, France, in what is considered one of the country's largest child sex abuse cases.
