the former wife of a Frenchman accused of enlisting strangers to rape her while she was drugged said Wednesday she felt humiliated during his trial, accusing some defence lawyers of claiming she was complicit in the abuse. “Since setting foot in this courtroom I have felt humiliated,” Gisele Pelicot, 71, said at the trial of her former husband and 50 other men for rape. FRANCE 24’s Eliza Herbert takes a look at the other defendants accused of raping Gisele Pelicot.

How did sexual violence become so enticing to SO MANY MEN??? This is horrifying. 🇺🇸😡
@chaos-ku4vw
She is a wonderfully brave lady. Anyone who has gone through any type of trial of this nature can tell you that.
@suzannedillon2475
Maybe its time all married women got tested to see this isnt happening to them. Men have become sub human.
@suzannedillon2475
God help the female children of these appalling people.
@BL-sd2qw
I wish we lived in a gr@pe free society like the ones Peggy Reeves Sanday talks about in her works
@margaretsanfran7317
SEXUAL PREDATORS 💯‼
@abominusrex3205
Was Macron on the rapist list? She looks like his type.
@4fraksake
The good guy is a lie.
@abzy3k1
If these were Muslim men.. goodness me could you imagine the worldwide outrage.
@jennyobyrne2731
He is right, they are not delinquents they are all rapists.
Rapists come in all shapes and sizes and careers…this is the most perfect example of that.
How on earth are female partners ever able to trust their male partners?
Answer: most likely, never.
@LightningFlash178
All of these POS lined up to rape her because in France 94% of rape cases are dismissed. Only 6% go to trial & a smaller percentage see sentencing. (3-2%)
They knew that. It’s why you have 100s of men just going to his house without any care for consequences.
In the US that number is about the same. When TH is that going to change?
There needs to be change because the Justice system literally dismisses victims 94% of the time.
It’s misogyny, it’s discrimination it’s biased.
Then those women are in such shock & frustrated after trying to seek Justice a lot of them go & murder the rapist. I don’t blame them.
It’s needs to change.
I’m actually convinced the men who came up with the requirements for prosecution are certain that some women will lie & call every man they dislike a rapist. & that’s the misogyny I’m talking about.
Most rape is violent, they assault the person, they drug them. They threaten them into silence or try to harass them into silence. Prior to rape they will stalk them as well. Some victims get trafficked to others. It’s an actual crime we’re not talking about an instance where 2 people have sex then 1 regrets it & is twisted enough to call the police.
That’s rarely happens unless your a millionaire…. The victims of rape that come forward usually is because they were assaulted they were drugged & stalked & beaten & usually have some proof to show for it. They suffer symptoms of mental loss or memory lapses. Or suffer other damages.
& the court literally is dismissing them as if it was some disagreement they had. ITS NOT.
94% of cases getting dismissed. Says it all.
@tmoleary7179
not delinquents because they've been getting away with crimes in the bedroom. What an argument. Terrible they are trying to get off by pleading not guilty and making the vicim testify. Perverted, degenerates, the entire lot of them.
@valerienaidoo3853
Where are the photos of the husband and those men….. Why are they not interviewing their wives, mothers and daughters
@SuD-s7o
While I was with my ex husband (13 years) I never knew him ( the facade he showed to me and others was not who he was), the things I found out after he replaced me were shocking. Most of his friends and certainly his new wife, have no idea. That’s why these men are of no surprise to me.
@alexandratuis6693
You'd think a normal decent guy would find this repulsive…nope!

@mikaelb7735
This is HORRIBLE, in MANY ways, but the Lady is so brave to go public and stand up!!!!! Hope the identity of all rapists come out. And what about if the Media left her alone and focus on the rapers!!!
@barbthegreat586
They found themselves involved … No, they involved themselves and I do hope their families now know what kind of upstanding citizens their spouses, boyfriends, sons are.
@honestgenz4413
Damn, who can you trust?
@Naturalworldlives
Not one of those despicable men are victims. May they all get prison sentences.
@em.415
The fact these are average everyday men with no previous record is scary. “Not all men” but no way to distinguish.
@elderwelder
Manosophere: "Women need to give average men a chance, they're nice guys"
Average men:
@anastasia10017
One of the craziest and scariest things about this story is that one man puts an ad online inviting random men to come SA his wife —- and almost 100 men show up for it.
@ClubhouseCrime
They all need to have their faces plastered everywhere. They should not be able to show their face without being recognized.
@genevieveaniko6492
Saying that they didn't know what they were doing or what was happening has to be the worst defence ever. They're done for.
@LiliLadouce
May be he exist others victims of them command
@LiliLadouce
Womans need to know who for be aware of them
@LiliLadouce
Show theirs face victim is an adult
@LiliLadouce
Your courageous miss keep your head up
@kiowah231
Separatism. It is the only way.
@pinkpanther7030
Is there a possibility of money compensation for the offences committed to that french lady, I wonder.
@younsmal4873
What if she were those kinds of kinky ladies who, with time, started to have regrets. I'm not accusing her of anything but just checking all possibilities. Happening a couple of times ok, but 50 people involved…
@NMandarina
Lawyer justifies rape because these were man with clear records and families. What a stupid excuse.
Another lawyer; my client is naive and is unable to say no.
Pathetic
@Canduts2020
How can your own husband hate you so much!
@evelynbarry5046
They think they are not guilty? gross
@lisaeveretts8082
Not delinquents??? What! Are you kidding me.😮 I would say the fact that they are rapists means they absolutely are not only delinquents but psychopaths as well.
@jilladams7573
'These people are not delinquents at all.' Erm….yes they are!
@MrMjolnir69
How old was the Wife? Or Wifeys? If it's village thing? "Wife Club"? Whats happening.
@ateacherexplains
Not all men, but it's always men.
@Move-on19
Men that people consider "high value" nowadays because of their status. Even fathers were all in
@helenweatherby1694
‘They found themselves involved in this case’. What the hell? They looked on the darker part of the web and found what they wanted.
@ljchandler4876
anyone is capable of doing anything – the shame is all on the perpetrators
@lucycarlos4923
Show their faces,they are not delinquents?
@sarahofer4368
"They found themselves involved in this case"? More like they found themselves video taped raping an unconcious woman.
@jkfdkjjd
I don't think its real, I think it's more plausible that she was complicit and is cashing in on prostituting herself for a second time by blackmailing her clients. If you think that's ridiculous: think about how horrible all them doing it to her would be versus how horrible my scenario I present would be. Then think about the mere logistics of each scenario: which would be easier to accomplish? She's not even a little complicit? Come on mate, prostitutes CHOOSE to work in their profession and they CHOOSE to use drugs to make it easier all the time. They also end up HATING men all the time. I just saw a thing about the woman that tried to kill Andy Warhol. I don't buy this automatic assumption of guilt when it's some spectacular Rube Goldberg machine type sex crime. When it's primarily one persons word against another without any physical evidence of a crime, the prosecution and plaintiff will exaggerate and lie. It's TRUE.
@angrypidgeon1714
is there even such a drug? I'ld like some. Before judging me, know that I've been kidnapped and drugged with deadly poison by an EU government which EU defends, because I denounced that government's and EU's drug and human trafficking. Now I'm a political refugee, and the drug damage caused me depression so wouldn't mind other drugs that compensate. French justice is a joke btw, read Papillon. I asked personally that the fake judges, prosecutors and other clerks on French territory involved in my case be arrested but they didn't even open a penal dossier. It's about the fake ICC (UN), and ECH (EU), and ECHR (CoE), but EU's and CoE's fake committees as well. I spit on the French government, and German for that matter. BTW orphans are drugged for profit all over the "civilised" and free (of law) western world, even 0-1 year olds, and those drugs destroy the brain permanently besides the rest of the nervous system causing things like autoimmune disease, cancer etc., that's what psychiatry is, drug and human trafficking, and political repression, not medicine nor science, and as a result it never cured anyone of anything ever, as before it was using heroine and opium as "cures", even mercury, and now it's using Nazi drugs (fluorine based poisons, which is a chemical weapon present in sarin gas, novichok as well as rat poison)
