Ex-janitor accused of serial rapes goes on trial in France theSun theSundaily crime rape trial France

This reproduction made on March 1, 2018 of an undated picture released by French local newspaper L’observateur de l’Avesnois shows Dino Scala posing during a family picture with the local football club he was then president, in the northern French town of Pont-sur-Sambre near the Belgian border. Scala’s trial will run until July 1, 2022.

Scala, now 61, is a former janitor at an industrial site who was also head of a local football club, and was described as well-integrated and sociable by locals in his town of Pont-sur-Sambre after his arrest. He is charged with 17 accounts of rape, 12 attempted rapes and 27 sexual assaults or attempts -- for 56 victims in total, though investigators suspect there were other victims who did not come forward to police.

Police sought the suspect in November 1996, when a 28-year-old woman said she was raped alongside a motorway near Maubeuge. Investigators found the attacker's DNA at the scene but found no matches in police databases.Despite increased patrols, the assailant was never found and the case was closed in 2003.
