French surgeon Joel Le Scouarnec, convicted of sexually abusing 299 patients, was sentenced to 20 years in prison for aggravated rape. He confessed to abusing minors, including 256 under 15, between 1989 and 2014. Despite prior convictions for child abuse material, he continued practicing medicine. Le Scouarnec's case highlights systemic failures in preventing his continued abuse, and victims have expressed anger over the court's leniency.
