New investigations: Does the process unveiling further victims of abuse?

In one of the greatest abuse cases of France, there are new developments because the public prosecutor's office in Lorient is now checking whether there are yet unidentified other victims. The investigators believe that the high public attention could throw the light on additional acts. During the investigation, diaries of the accused doctor were discovered, which included detailed records of the abuse file. The records helped identify 299 victims who were only eleven years old at the time of abuse. But the cruel truth is that the surgeon is also said to have misused its two-year-old granddaughter, which is now discussed in the process, such as Kleinezeitung.at reported.

Legal steps for victims

The legal approach for victims is complicated. According to Anwalt.de can hire its investigation procedure unless sufficient evidence means that victims are sent a notice of hiring. In this decision, the reasons for the attitude are identified. Only those who are directly affected can take legal action against the decision. In the case of the victim of abuse, you can file a recruitment complaint within two weeks of receiving the decision to insist that the case is checked again.

If this complaint is rejected, those affected can apply for a law enforcement procedure. To do this, facts and evidence must be presented, signed by a lawyer. The Higher Regional Court then evaluates whether there are enough reasons for the collection of an indictment. This closely interlinked legal structure shows how important it is that the victims are heard and justice in this complex process.
