  • A French man admits in court to drugging his wife so that he and dozens of men could rape her

In a trial that has gripped France and raised new awareness about sexual violence, Dominique Pélicot told the court that he also raped his wife Gisèle Pélicot, who has since divorced him, and that the 50 men standing trial alongside him understood exactly what they were doing. Although he previously confessed to investigators, his court testimony will be crucial for the panel of judges to decide on the fate of his co-defendants, many of whom deny having raped Gisèle Pélicot, saying her then-husband had manipulated them or that they believed she was consenting.
