Michèle Cals

Michèle Cals is a former director of the hospital in Jonzac, Charente-Maritime, who came into the spotlight during the trial of Joël Le Scouarnec. In court, she recounted her experience from 2008 when Le Scouarnec disclosed his prior conviction for viewing pornographic films, which she later acknowledged may have included pedopornography. Cals faced scrutiny as it was revealed that despite the knowledge of his criminal record, no medical institutions had contacted her regarding the matter, and she had received approval to hire him, highlighting serious oversight in the hiring process within the medical community.
