Plauter French verdict of pedophile leaves victims

The victims of the prolific French pedophile Joel Le Skarnek expressed disappointment that the 20 -year term of imprisonment of the surgeon does not include preventive detention -that is, he can be released from prison in the early 2030s.

The 74-year-old guy was found guilty of Tuesday in sexual abuse of hundreds, most of their underage patients for decades.

During the trial, he confessed to 111 rapes and 188 sexual attacks and was sentenced to a maximum of 20 years in prison.

Prosecutors – who called Le Scoarneck “The Devil in a White Coat” – asked the court to accept the extremely rare provision to carry out it at the center of treatment and supervision even after being released, called preventive detention.

But the judge rejected this request, arguing the age of Le Scoarneck and his “desire to amend”, was taken into account.

Le Scouarnec will have to serve two-thirds of punishment before receiving the parole.

But since he has already served seven years because of the previous conviction for rape and sexual attack on four children, he may receive parole until 2032.

His lawyer Maxim Tesier noted that he said that Le Scouarnec could be released and then was “inaccurate” because the parole was not a release.

But his victims – many of whom were carefully attended at a three -month trial in the Vannese, northern France complained about the sentence.

“Do you run the risk of 30 years. But the punishment for hundreds of rapes is easier?” One victim said Le Monde.

The president of the Children’s Child Group Slen Podesvin Faur said it may expect that the sentence will “be less mild” and include preventive detention after appointment.

“This is definitely the maximum sentence,” she said. “But this is the least what we could hope for. But six years later it can be released. It’s stunning.”

Marie Grimmo, one of the attorneys who represented the victims told reporters that when she was “intellectually” understood, she could not “symbolically”.

Another lawyer, Francesco Sata, said that he believed that 20 years was too short, given the number of victims in the case.

“It’s time to change the law so that we can have more relevant proposals,” she claimed.

But, in his court decision, read by the court, Judge Ade Buresei said, while the court “perfectly heard the plaintiff’s demands that Le Scouarnec should never be released from prison, it would be demagogically and bizarre so that they would believe that it is possible.”

“In fact,” she added, “the rule of law does not allow it.”

Amel Levka, one of the victims of Le Scooarnek, said the verdict was “shocked” and that she would like to impose preventive detention. “How many casualties do you need? Thousand?”

She claimed that the French law needs to change and allow the tougher terms to take into account the serial nature of the crimes.

Similar complaints were collected after the trial of Pelicot last December, in which Dominic Pelicot was found guilty of addiction and rape Hisel’s wife and recruited dozens of men to abuse her for almost ten years.

Pelicot also was Convicted for 20 years – The maximum term for rape in French legislation – with a commitment is at least two -thirds in prison.

However, his case should be revised at the end of the imprisonment before he could study the issue of preventive detention.

In France, the proposals are not fulfilled consistently. Last week, State Prosecutor Stefan Kelenberger noted that Lead was subjected to court in the United States – where people are serving one prison term for another – he may have encountered more than 4,000 years.

But Shakil de Oliveira, one of the victims’ lawyers, praised the sentence, which, she said, was “accurately adapted” to the “psychiatric state” of Le Skarnek.

She agreed with the court’s decision not to impose preventive detention on the former surgeon, adding: “He must remain an exceptional punishment.”

After the verdict was read, the victims, journalists and lawyers mingled in the court building in Vanaes. Many civilian parties and their relatives, angry with the verdict, brought their disappointment with the media.

“Everything I ask is that this person cannot offend again,” said the victim’s mother in French.

“If such behavior should entail lifelong imprisonment and be it.”
