The crimes for which Le Scouarnec is on trial all occurred between 1998 and 2014. "The Le Scouarnec case is not mobilising a lot of people. In her closing arguments to the court, Ms Guedj-Benayoun condemned what she called France's "systemic, organised silence" regarding child abuse. Another connection between the Pelicot and Le Scouarnec cases is what they've both revealed about our understanding – or lack of understanding – of trauma. I've become a different person – one I don't recognise," said a victim, addressing Le Scouarnec in court.
