• Victims’ representatives challenged the authenticity of his apologies, pressing for an interministerial commission to investigate healthcare and judicial lapses.
• Le Scouarnec practised until 2017 despite a 2005 conviction for possessing child abuse images; he was later sentenced in 2020 for raping four minors.
• Prosecutor Stephane Kellenberger called Le Scouarnec “the devil” in a white coat, warning that further trials may be needed to address additional alleged victims.
