Four years after he was arrested in a French village close to the Belgian border, Dino Scala has gone on trial accused of a 30-year series of rapes and sexual assaults.
The former caretaker, now aged 61, has already confessed to 40 attacks on girls and women in communities either side of the French border with Belgium.
But he denies some of the 56 charges.
Some of the victims are no longer alive and others have refused to appear at the trial in the city of Douai.
The man on trial became known as the rapist of the Sambre, after the river that ran through places he operated in.
A former caretaker and football coach, Dino Scala, who is now 61, was eventually arrested in February 2018 after a 17-year-old girl was attacked in the Belgian border town of Erquelinnes.

It's crazy that this guy operated for 30 years doing this over and over.
