Ex-wife of paedophile ‘Jekyll and Hyde’ surgeon accused of raping 300 children insists ‘I was not aware of his inclinations’ or his collection of 70 child-sized sex dolls as she tells trial she is a victim

The ex-wife wife of a surgeon accused of sexually abusing hundreds of child patients in France has insisted she was not aware of his ‘inclinations’ after victims claimed she had covered up his ‘paedocriminal activities’ for decades.

Joel Le Scouarnec, 74, is charged with assaulting or raping 299 boys and girls over three decades. Many were patients under anaesthetic following surgical procedures at hospitals across France where Le Scouarnec worked.
