The expected judgment in the trial of the surgeon of the French children who offended the treatment of hundreds

The ruling is expected to be in Windesday in the case of Joel Le Skorank, the former surgeon who confessed to sexual assault on hundreds of patients, most of them age, between 1989 and 2014.

Le Skorank, 74, is called the most controversial France in France. He is already in prison after he was sentenced in December 2020 to 15 years of rape and sexual assault on four children, including two daughters.

Now, he faces an additional 20 -year penalty.

The former doctor has been being tried in Bretani since late February. During that time, dozens of his victims witnessed the court’s news how they were abused as children who formed their lives.

In March, during a session held behind closed doors, Lu Skoark admitted sexual assault on all 299 victims, and many of them during anesthesia or waking up after operations.

Keep the notes in which he described the attacks with graphic details, which allowed the police to track his victims – whom many did not have the anniversary of the abuse they suffered during the care of Le Skuark.

The former surgeon admitted the charges during a session behind the closed doors in March.

“I can no longer look at myself in the same way because I am children who suffer from children and rapists for children.”

“I have said many things. I don’t necessarily remember everything now. I will undoubtedly return to me when I am in my cell, but what I saw (in court) is the suffering that I am responsible for,” he said.

He added that he does not want or expects to get any leniency.

Earlier this month He also said he was “responsible” for the death of two victims Their relatives say that he died due to suicide, after the sexual assault shocked before, if they were children when they were children.

Tell the grandparents of one of them, Matthias Venet, who died four years ago, BBC The “landing to hell” that his grandson suffers from When the police revealed to him that his name appeared in a diary.

The trial has anger that Le Scouarnec has eliminated abuse for more than fifteen years, and that he is allowed to continue treating children despite the condemnation in 2005 to download children’s photos.

Victims of the Joel Le Skoark group group He regretted that the trial has failed to attract the attention of politicians and society as a whole.

“No lesson has been extracted from this, neither from the medical world nor from the politicians,” the group said in a statement. Several victims held a protest before the court before the ruling that was delivered on Wednesday afternoon.

Catherine, the victim’s mother, said on the day of the ruling that she was the first time that many journalists were seen covering the trial and added that she felt that the victims had forgotten.

“It is unfortunate, but I hope that our message will now be passed. It is not for the generation who was injured but for my grandchildren,” she said, adding that it hopes that the institutions interact.

Le Scouarnec, who was in court every day, apologized for the 14 -week trial, repeatedly for his “disgusting” work.

Many of his victims left without admiration for his behavior. “His words are always the same, with the same tone, I do not see any truth in it,” Luis Mary, 35, told the BBC. “The only thing that I hope does not harm society more … it remains closed.”

“I have never seen tears as she escaped from his cheeks,” said another victim named Monon Limoen.

But Maxime Tessier, a LE Scouarnec lawyer, said he believed his client was honest. “He was very transferred during this trial … It was very important to admit as he did. It was the moment of truth and justice.”

Mr. Tesseier also referred to the finger to the medical establishment, which the civil parties accused of not doing more to prevent if you are from the practice of medicine even when rumors of children were taking into account their circulation on a large scale.

“Nobody confessed to responsibility, while all the victims said he was not only the man who did so – but also the system that allowed him to do so,” he told the BBC.

“It expressed its deep remorse” because the former surgeon should have “prevented him from training,” said the National System of Doctors (CNOM), which filed a lawsuit against Le Skurnik, in March.

“This situation highlighted the weakness of communication between the different entities of the doctors’ order, and we regret this, “they said in a statement.
