Joël Le Scouarnec is accused of raping or sexually abusing 299 people, mostly child patients.

He doesn't deny the charges, though he says he doesn't remember everything.

Activists hope the trial will help expose other abusers long protected by societal taboos.

The trial will examine rapes and other abuses committed from 1989 to 2014 on 158 men and 141 women.
