Warning: This article contains references to suicide, sexual assault and other details that readers may find disturbing.

Warnung: In diesem Artikel werden Selbstmord, sexuelle Übergriffe und andere Einzelheiten erwähnt, die Lesende als verstörend empfinden könnten. In Vannes, einer kleinen Stadt am Meer im Westen Frankreichs, spricht man nicht viel über Joel Le Scouarnec, der diese Woche zu 20 Jahren Gefängnis verurteilt wurde. Er hatte in mehr als drei Jahrzehnten seiner Tätigkeit als Chirurg nahezu 300 seiner Patientinnen und Patienten - die meisten davon Kinder - vergewaltigt und sexuell missbraucht.
