In France, people survived by pediatric sexual abuse seek change
The western French seaside city of Joel Le Scornak Vines is not named on everyone’s lips, where the pre -surgeon this week was sentenced to 20 years in jail for raping and sexual abuse of about 300 patients out of most of his patients for more than three decades this week.His face was not on the front page of the local newspaper in the morning after his guilty, and, as the gray rain was oscillated between the sky and bright sunlight, people wandering around the boat festival in the veins are 10 minutes walk from the court room, preferred to not talk about France’s most beneficial abusers.“It is a shame in the Britney region,” said 83 -year -old pensioner Jole Laboru. “He started everything here.”“How can he go away with it for so long?”
Anatomy
This is the question that at night is keeping people in women. Under the nose of the authorities, wearing a white medical coat of honor and clothes in the heart of the middle class society, but Scornennene sexually abused hundreds of children. The crime in the latest case against him was spread from 1989 to 2014 and was committed in a dozen hospitals in Western France.Le Scornennene often violated the victims, while they were subject to anesthesia or wake up with surgery. He wrote the graphic details of these examples of rape or sexual harassment against children and animals in his magazines, which the police discovered when they raided their apartments in 2017, when they were accused of sexually abusing a child living at the next door.He said, “I am spoiling a major. I am once a philanthropist, Viour, Sadist, Masocist. I am scatological, a fetish, a pedophile. And I am very happy about it,” he wrote in an entry in 2004. Le Monde, Police found a collection of a child around the apartment, some baby size, some toddlers, according to the French newspaper.
Leaving opportunities?
The 2017 knocking at Le Scornene’s door occurred a decade after its first brush with the law. In 2005, the surgeon was accused and convicted in 2005. He was able to continue the practice of drugs, including working with children, until he retired years later, including working with children.During the recent trial, the hospital administrators placed him on the employees and later hired him somewhere else after the 2005 sentence. Since the court did not issue prohibition on working with a professional restriction or minors, he argued that they were not obliged to impose additional restrictions.Le Scournec mainly worked in rural, relatively resource-holding hospitals, where the loss of a surgeon could have shut down to the entire department.During the test, questions were also raised whether anyone else was especially known to his ex -wife and failed to work. He denied any knowledge. Further legal proceedings are expected, as the remaining people push themselves to accountability beyond the scornene.
‘Major institutional failures’
Unlike most criminal cases, in which the police identify the suspects based on the reports of the victims, the case came up in reverse. Investigators highlighted the recurrence of evidence and then searched the victims, many of whom had no memory of abuse and learned only from police calls or travels.Of them, 35-year-old was Louis-Mary, who was standing outside the Women’s Courthouse on the day of sentence along with other people. Together, they ignored a banner adorned with hundreds of paper sheets, each fertilized with a silhouette, which represents one of the victims of the Le Scornene. Some figures were with names and age under 5 years of age.Louis-Mary told DW, “We realized that there were major institutional failures that have not been recognized till date.”Le Scornenecane admitted the guilt in all cases and asked for “no generosity” in his sentence. He apologized to most of his victims, asked for forgiveness, some of them were described only as mechanical. Le Scouarnec does not plan to appeal.In a statement following Wednesday’s decision, the French National Medical Council had “vowed to operate all the reforms needed to ensure that such a tragedy never arises again.” The French Health Minister also promised to work with the Ministry of Justice to save children and other patients from coming in contact with predators.
Maximum jail time
The convict was not surprised. A misconduct, a surgeon’s mother Regin, told DW before reading that he was just “tired”.“As a parents, we are considered secondary victims. But it is difficult, knowing that we have left our children in the hands of this demon,” he said. “This is something that will regret me forever. It will not disappear. For us, it is for life.”But not for scarnene. Under the French law, the maximum punishment for increased rape – whether it includes one victim or hundreds – is 20 years. And it is exactly that the judges handed over the 74 -year -old former doctor in the western on Wednesday, in which the Judge Oud Bureau was given time to tell that she was bound by the legal boundaries of her country.Now, advocacy groups are calling for legislative reforms, carrying forward difficult sentences for serial rapists.
Call for improvement
The court also imposed additional restrictions on Le Scornene, including measures to keep them away from children and animals and a ban on medical practice, should they be released anytime. And this is a real possibility. Le Scouranec has already spent pre-trial custody for different defects in prison for several years-including raping four children, two of whom were their nieces. YouIn the United States, the French jail sentence is not cumulative. This means that his 20 -year term has already been served and may be eligible for early release in the 2030s under judicial approval.On Wednesday, the judges on Wednesday decided against their release to take extraordinary steps to limit scornene for a safe psychiatry convenience, citing their age and said “desire to amend”.And it shocked some of the remaining people and family members and disappointed bitterly. Xavier Vinet, whose son was abused by a child as a child, nodded with anger as he spoke to DW outside the court.“We should have a lifetime prison time, given that we do not have death sentence here. We should bring it back – this is necessary for men like him, “he said.
Was lost before justice
Vinet’s son, Mathis, will never serve justice. He died in an overdose in 2021, which his family says it was a suicide.“He was the first to be a happy child,” Vinet said. “He felt great with his grandfather and with me.”In 2018, like so many other people, Mathis and his family heard from the police that Le Scornenek wrote about abusing him while staying in a hospital at the age of 10.“Then everything changed. Then he destroyed himself. That’s what I can say about him,” Vinet said.Le Scornenek admitted in the court that he bored “responsibility” for the death of Mathis and one of his young victims who died in 2020.
The remaining people ask: Why don’t people want to know?
There is no doubt that the case shocked France. According to a court room reporting of French media, the 74 -year -old 74 -year -old also incorporated countless distracted details to misbehave in his own granddaughter, including a moment that was unexpectedly admitted to abusing his own granddaughter.But the remaining people said that they are much less than expected.It is not difficult to compare with a French woman Gissle Pelicot case, who waived her right to oblivion in the trial against her husband and raped her over a period of 10 years by about 50 other men. Like the survivors of Le Scornene, Pelicot only learned details of these crimes through the police, as her husband regularly drugs her and recruiting men online to rape men while he was entertained.Nevertheless, unlike the Pelicot trial, which attracted the attention of international media, but the Scorrencase case was comparatively low-profile. Back to Vans Marina, local student Emma Le Floch explained why she wonders that pre-surgling crimes paid less attention.“Everything with children is even more forbidden with children,” said 21 -year -old. He said, “It is shocking to think that people impressed Live nearby – that I could easily take the doctor or was taken with him for an operation or something that could happen,” he said.“We do not talk enough about sexual violence against children,” he said. “I think this is that we don’t want to talk about it.”
