Former French surgeons, accused of abuse of hundreds of patients, acknowledged that most children admitted that they had “committed a mean act,” and understood and shared suffering because of their own charges.
Joel Le Scouarnec was accused of assaulting or raping 299 patients under 15 years of age between 1989 and 2014.
Le Scouarnec said, “I completely know that these wounds cannot be forgotten beyond repair.”
On the first day of the children’s abuse trial in France, a 74 -year -old white hair wearing a black zipper up sweater on glasses and gray shirts, he spoke in a court in Vannes in northwestern France. .
Warning: This story contains painful details.
Le Scouarnec said, “I can’t go back, but it will continue for a lifetime for a lifetime.
He seemed to be attentive, mainly in the technical procedure, but there was no special reaction when two people in their 30s grabbed the stand to identify himself as a victim.
The youngest victim of Le Scouarnec was one and the oldest 70 years old.
The police were able to identify them thanks to the three severe compiled diary, known to have been attacked by Le Scouarnec for more than 25 years.
He was already imprisoned for abuse of four children since 2017 and was convicted in 2020.
Many manuscripts were abused during anesthesia or recovery at hospitals across France. It appeared in the diary of Le Scouarnec.
“All of this terrible story is not ordinary … It was not a victim to the investigators who had approached the investigators, but the investigators who warned the victims.”
“Many of them didn’t remember.
Many other people, who are believed to have been abused, said that the influence of the incident followed them for a lifetime and in many cases causing serious psychological trauma.
Mauricette Vinet, a grandmother of Le Skuanian patients who committed suicide a few years ago, said that the grandson of the BBC was “killed” by Le Scouarnec’s abuse.
“If he didn’t get up, Mathis would still be here,” she said.
Defense Attorney Maxime Tissier said on Monday that Le Scouarnec recognized “the majority of the majority” and his client would soon “explain himself.”
“He is the defendant who allows him to use himself in the court despite his age,” Tissier said.
Le Scouarmec added in the police exam, “I did my best to admit that the rape and my views were not the same.”
Dozens of lawyers also attended court, but hundreds of victims they represented were sitting in a separate overflow room due to the number of shaved numbers. In the trial process, some psychologists and emotional support dogs will be prepared.
Aude Buresi, a supervisor, read graphics and cruel summary of allegations of Le Scouarnec, and the excerpt from his interrogation in 2020 denied that his diary reflects the actual abuse and just Retelling. Of his “fantasy”.
But Buresi said that some elements, including the details and choices of the words used by Le Scouarnec, are likely to have been the most true diary.
In his short statement on the court on Monday, the former surgeon mentioned his writing as “very violent”.
An hour before the lawsuit began, dozens of protesters held a rally outside the court and wrote the phrase “Silence of silence.”
Victims and children’s advocacy groups said that Le Scouarnec could continue to work with children.
In 2005, the FBI warned that the French authorities were accessing the child abuse website, but this resulted in a suspended brother and had no effect at work.
Later, when Le Scouarnec worked at Quimperlé Hospital, he suggested sexually charged opinions on young patients, warning the local medical association and raising the suspicion of a colleague who recognized the suspension of his sentence.
Members of the Association were summoned, and all doctors, except for one doctor, voted that Le Scouarnec did not violate the medical code of ethics. The BBC approached the Regional Medical Association.
The association said that medical experts are currently accused of accusations of Le Skau Lek, saying they “separate the medical field.”
His statement led to the rapid rebuttal of the lawyer Fredéric Benoist, the leader of the children’s advocate, La Voix de L “ENFANT, and told the BBC that Le Scouararnec promised his actions. Among the dysfunction among medical professionals “.
Benuist said that the Medical Association could be listed as a manuscript is “morally rude and legally suspicious.” “It is unacceptable that the association is sitting with the victims,” he said.
The Monday session is closed early. There was no possibility of happening again during the trial process, which is strictly scheduled and will end in June.
At the request of the manuscript, some sessions will open behind the closed door. But much of them will be open to journalists and the public.
The former wife and his brothers of Le Scouarnec will be heard in court on Tuesday.
She asked why she attended a procedure that included the graphic details for abuse, and one woman waited to enter the overflow room to the BBC “Lee, this doctor, this doctor I want to see C. EVERYMAN.
“I want to see what human nature can do.
