French Surgeon Admits to Raping Over 300 Children, Including His Granddaughter

A shocking revelation has emerged in the trial of a French surgeon accused of raping over 300 children. The 74-year-old confessed in court that he sexually abused his own granddaughter among other underage patients. “Yes, I admit that I sexually abused my granddaughter. I apologize,” the former surgeon stated before the court. Despite his admissions, the defendant appeared unfazed and unrepentant as he faced his son in court. According to French media reports, Joel Le Scouarnec admitted to all counts of rape and sexual abuse but insisted he was an exceptional doctor. The trial has exposed details of his crimes committed over 30 years across at least 10 hospitals. Once seen as a respected pediatric surgeon who operated on hundreds of children in western France, he now stands revealed as one of the worst child rapists in history. New investigations may follow, as potential victims could number far more than 300. Since the trial began ten days ago in Vannes, 12 new individuals have come forward, recalling past abuse during their treatment by the former surgeon.
