Former surgeon Joel Le Scouarnec has been sentenced to 20 years in prison after being found guilty of raping and sexually assaulting 299 children.
In his final address to the court, Le Scouarnec's defence framed his admission of guilt as "an act of reparation," adding he hadn't asked for "leniency," but "simply for the right (...) to regain that part of my humanity that has been so lacking."
