Weeks after a mass rape trial involving a man who drugged his wife and brought strangers home to assault her, France is again reeling as a new alleged predator appears in court.
A trial is underway in Vannes, France, of 74-year-old Joel Le Scouarnec, a former surgeon accused of raping or sexually assaulting 299 people, almost all of them children who were his patients. It is the biggest trial related to alleged child sex abuse in France – and one of the biggest in the world.
His ex-wife, Marie-France Le Scouarnec, took the stand on Wednesday – and denied she had any knowledge of her husband's activities. "There was nothing that could have made me think that. Nothing," she told the court.
