A former surgeon went on trial in France on Monday for the alleged rape or sexual abuse of 299 victims, most of them children who were his patients, in what investigators and his own notebooks describe as a pattern of violence spanning over three decades. FRANCE 24’s Sharon Gaffney speaks to campaigner Mié Kohiyama, Co-founder of the Brave Movement and ‘Be Brave France’. She says that France is plagued by collective denial and major impunity of child sexual abuse.
