The trial of Joël Le Scouarnec, a former surgeon previously sentenced to 15 years for sexual offenses, is set to start on February 24 in Vannes, France. He faces serious charges regarding nearly 300 victims, many of whom were minors at the time of the abuses. The proceedings are expected to last approximately four months, necessitating additional courtrooms to accommodate the significant number of involved parties. Given the sensitive nature of the case, which involves victims as young as 11, there may be closed sessions during the trial. Le Scouarnec could face up to 20 years in prison if convicted.
