There has been almost no reporting I have been watching. This suggests France is ignoring the issue. Horrific and very sad

French surgeon Joel Le Scouarnec given maximum prison sentence for decadeslong abuse of hundreds of children

Joel Le Scouarnec, 74, called an "atomic bomb of pedophilia" in court, has been sentenced to prison for abusing hundreds of patients, most of them children.

www.cbsnews.com

A French court on Wednesday gave the maximum 20-year jail term to a surgeon who admitted sexually abusing hundreds of patients, most of them children, during more than two decades. The three-month trial of Joel Le Scouarnec, 74, has brought to light the extent of his crimes and the suffering of his victims but also raised questions of why more was not done sooner to stop him.

Not a long enough sentence, in my opinion.
