# A former French surgeon, Joël Le Scouarnec, has been sentenced to 20-years in prison, for the sexual assault of 299 of his patients, mostly children under the age of 15-years-old. The 74-year-old, who has been dubbed as France’s most prolific paedophile, in March admitted to sexually abusing all the victims, many while they were under anaesthesia or waking up after operations. Le Scouarnec is already serving a 15-year prison sentence, for the rape and sexual assault of four children, including two of his nieces.
