French investigators have begun a search for further victims of a paedophile surgeon on trial for raping or sexually assaulting 299 mostly young patients, after he admitted all the charges in what was described as a “turning point” in France’s largest child abuse case.
Joël Le Scouarnec, 74 had declared “I committed heinous acts” at the opening of the trial last month but previously only acknowledged the abuse on a case by case basis and had denied several of the charges.
