Pedophile surgeon meted 20 years in jail
Manila Bulletin
|May 30, 2025
A 74-year-old pedophile and former surgeon was given a maximum 20-year prison sentence on Wednesday by a French court for the rape and sexual assault of hundreds of patients, mostly children, over more than two decades.

Joël Le Scouarnec was sentenced after admitting molesting nearly 300 victims in one of the country's largest-ever child sex abuse cases, which has raised questions about how he was able to abuse so many, for so long.
Judges followed the public prosecutor's recommendations regarding the length of the sentence and the criminal court of Morbihan, in western France, ordered that Le Scouarnec should serve at least two-thirds of the punishment before he can be eligible for release, because he remains dangerous.
