Paris – On Friday, in western France, the former Dr. Joel Le Scoarneck confessed without any petitions that sexually rapes his own granddaughter. The 74 -year -old Le Scouarnec tried about a week before Friday, accused of rape or sexual attack for 299 children, but his granddaughter is not among the alleged victims – all of them were his patients at the time.
The former surgeon got up and went to court immediately after his eldest son, whose name was not used in court, testified.
“This may be almost certain for the last time I see a son because I heard his anger and his trouble,” said Le Skarnek in court in the city of Vanis, Brittany. “I respect this anger, it is well reasoned. Yes, I admit that I abused my granddaughter, his daughter.”
He then addressed his son and said, “Sorry.”

The court was postponed immediately after he made a statement. Later, on Friday night, regional prosecutors confirmed that new charges will be filed against Le Scouarnec for recognition in the courtroom.
It was the last in a series of emotional moments at the trial, which opened on February 24.
Le Scouarnec is accused of rape or sexual attack for 299 people, almost all of whom were children under his treatment during the alleged attacks. By the number of alleged victims, this is the only biggest test associated with alleged sexual abuse in France and one of the largest in the world. It shocked France, following the heels of another mass trial involving A person who was addicted to his wife And for many years he brought strangers to their home to attack her.
The Prosecutor, who is engaged in the case of Le Scouarnec, said the alleged attacks took place for 25 years between 1989 and 2014 in several Brittany's Western hospitals where the doctor worked. The prosecutor stated that the average age of the victims – men and men and women – 11 years, was 11 at the time of the alleged abuse.
During the first week, the members of Le Skarnek's immediate family testified that they knew the allegations.
His ex-wife Mari-France Le Skuarnek took the stand on Wednesday and refuses to have any knowledge of the intended actions of the husband.
“Nothing could make me think. Nothing,” she said in court. “I never had.
The alleged attacks were born in 2017 after the 6-year-old daughter Le Scouarnec told her parents that she had put it and touched her through a fence that separated their yards.
During the search at his home as part of this investigation, police said it had found hard drives containing more than 300,000 photos and video about sexual children. They also said they found notebooks with careful abuse of children.
The doctor was convicted in December 2020 for sexual abuse of four young girls-young neighbor, as well as a 4-year-old patient and two nieces. He was sentenced to 15 years in prison.
In court on Friday, his eldest son told how his world collapsed, and how he turned to alcohol for a while after the first exposures. He said he and his father were very close when he grew up and he had only good memories of his childhood.
Last week, last week, her husband's condemnation of her husband's abuse of Marie-France Le Skarnek said she also knew nothing. The next day, the sister of the former mother of two nieces was the position and accused her ex-wife's testimony of “cruelty” and “lies”.

A woman, Annie, whose name was not released in court, claimed that Marie-France Le Skuarnek knew her husband abused her nephews. Annie said that her two daughters trusted her in October 2000 that Learnek had been subjected to sexual abuse. She told the court that her brother confessed to her attack and said his wife knew what happened.
The 2017 study did not become the first le scouarnec brush with the law. In 2005, he was convicted of storing sexual abuse after the FBI's investigation on the international network. For these crimes, he was given a four -year term. However, the court did not order psychological subsequent consequences, no restrictions on his work.
For his career Le Scouarnec worked in several hospitals across the Brittany region. The associations of the victims asked how he could carry out so many alleged attacks without causing any alarm.
Investigators said few of the children had the memory of the alleged attacks. For many of them, this became a complete shock when the police contacted them with the evidence of what happened, as it was told in the surgeon's magazines.
As the trial is paid on February 24Le Scouarnec told the court that he had “committed horrific actions” and his lawyer said he had admitted that he was being overwhelmingly accused of.
“I owe all these people and their loved ones to take responsibility for my actions and the consequences they could have,” Le Skuarnek said in court.
Outside the trial, a small group of participants broke the posters that announced “more than 20 years of silence” about the surgeon's past.
The trial is expected to last four months. During this time, 299 alleged victims – which men and women now will be designed to retell what they can remember their interactions with Le Scouarnec, which, if recognized, threatens up to 20 years.
