Just a heads up, today’s episode discusses extremely distressing themes including child sexual abuse and suicide. Listener discretion is advised.

Last year, the story of a French rape case and the woman at its centre, Gisèle Pélicot, captured global attention. 51 men, including her ex-husband, were found guilty of charges including rape and sexual assault. Just months after that shocking case concluded, another French case is now in the spotlight — with the country’s largest child sexual abuse trial set to begin this week. Retired French surgeon Joel Le Scouarnec is accused of sexually abusing some 300 people, mostly children, often while they were under anaesthetic in a hospital. In today's deep dive, we discuss the allegations against Le Scouarnec, and the seperate investigation that led police to uncover 25 years worth of evidence, and the names of hundreds of alleged victims.
