May 28 (UPI) -- A French pedophile surgeon who admitted sexually abusing hundreds of patients was sentenced Wednesday to 20 years in prison.
During a 90-day trial Joel Le Scouarnec, 74, was charged with 111 rapes and 189 sexual assaults from 1989 to 2014 that allegedly occurred at a dozen hospitals.
"Twenty years is little compared to the number of victims in this trial," said victim attorney Francesa Satta in a statement. "It is time for the law to change so we can have more appropriate sentences."
Le Scouarnec,is serving 15 years in prison for raping and sexually assaulting two of his nieces and two other children.
