The former French surgeon for a trial for rape or abuse of 299 children
Le Scouarnec has admitted abuse of children dating back to 1985-1986, according to the investigation documents. Some cases cannot be prosecuted, because the statute of limitations has ended.
The Vannes experience will examine rape and other violations committed from 1989 to 2014 on 158 men and 141 women between the ages of 11 years at the time.
He surprised the victims of what happened
The doctor led to the abuse of boys and girls sexually when they were alone in their hospital rooms, according to the investigation documents. His strategy was to hide sexual violence as a medical work, as young patients who were less likely to remember what happened.
“I really didn’t remember the operation. I remembered that after mixing, the surgeon who was perfectly meant,” one of the victims recalled, Amili Levik, then at the hospital at the age of nine in 1991. “I cried a lot, but I did not think anything like that It happened during this process.
Years later, she described the feeling of exhaustion when she learned that her name appeared in the books of Le Scouarnec.
She said: “This was the beginning of the answers to the life of the questions, then it was the beginning of the landing to hell while I left the lawyer’s office.” I felt I lost control of everything. I was not crazy, but now I had to face the truth of what happened. “
The emotional losses of the revelation were also described.
She said, “I fell in deep depression … My family tried to help, but I felt completely lonely.”
The Associated Press does not call people who say they have been sexually assaulted unless they agree to identify it or decide to tell their stories publicly.
Lu Shuwark’s lawyer told the Thibbot Corzawa, black A newspaper that his client “answers the questions of the judges” because he decided to “confront the reality.”
The case can light early. LE Scouarnec has already been convicted in 2005 for possessing and importing pornography for children and sentenced to four months in prison.
Nevertheless, he was appointed as a hospital practitioner next year. Because of the delay in treatment, the criminal registry examination did not include the Ministry of Health requested at that time, any mention of its previous crimes.
Even after informing him of his conviction, the health authorities and hospital administration did not follow up on disciplinary measures.
