Former surgeon, Joël Le Scouarnec, has drawn global attention after he admitted to 'committing hideous acts' during the hearing of which has been dubbed as France's largest child sexual abuse case on Monday.
Accused of sexually assaulting or raping 299 patients, the majority of whom were children, Le Scouarnec's trial marks one of the most disturbing child abuse cases in French history. 'If I am appearing before you, it's because one day, when most of these people were just children, I committed hideous acts,' Joël Le Scouarnec said after he was asked if he wanted to make a statement.
