Victims who were allegedly raped and abused by a former surgeon in France have been inspired by Gisèle Pelicot to testify publically in what will be the country’s largest-ever child abuse trial, according to her lawyer.
Joel Le Scouarnec, 73, stands accused of assaulting or raping 299 people over 25 years, allegedly targeting his child patients while working in Brittany. His four-month trial is set to begin on Monday.
