Joël Le Scouarnec is accused by 299 victims of abusing his position as a surgeon to assault and rape his patients, girls and boys, under the guise of medical procedures, for 25 years, between 1989 and 2014. The average age of the victims was 11. He has admitted to most of the charges. But how could this have happened?

In a three-minute video, Le Monde describes the charges against him and the modus operandi that enabled him to commit these crimes with impunity for years. We also look back at the failings that delayed his arrest until 2017. Following a report for the rape of a six-year-old girl, his home was searched. Investigators discovered diaries detailing the names and ages of his victims, as well as the abusive acts he committed.
