A French child surgeon standing trial for several cases of child abuse has made a chilling admission, claiming to be both a “good surgeon” and a “pervert.” The father-of-three doctor confessed in court that he exploited young patients who trusted him, a revelation that has shocked France.
Prosecutors explained how the suspect abused children systematically over the course of years, taking advantage of his position to access vulnerable victims. Detectives found alarming evidence, including pornography and testimony from survivors who lived in silence for years before they reported the abuse.
The case has sparked renewed controversy over oversight within the medical profession, with officials under fire for missing signs of the abuse earlier. Lawyers say that tougher screening procedures and more robust reporting structures are needed to avert such cases in the future.
Victims’ families are seeking maximum punishment, urging justice and systemic reform to safeguard children from predators in positions of power. The court is likely to pronounce its verdict shortly, with public outrage growing over the doctor’s brazen admission of guilt.
