51 Men Go On Trial In Horror Of Rape And Drugging Case - Avignon
Victim Gisele Pelicot seen as leaving the morning session at the judicial court in Avignon, France on September 10, 2024. For years, she had been losing hair and weight. She had started forgetting whole days, and sometimes appeared to be in dreamlike trances. Her children and friends worried she had Alzheimer’s. But in late 2020, after she was summoned to a police station in southern France, she learned a far more shattering story. Her husband of 50 years, Dominique Pelicot, had been crushing sleeping pills into her food and drink to put her into a deep sleep, the police said, and then raping her. He had ushered dozens of men into her home to film them raping her, too, they said, in abuse that lasted nearly a decade. Photo by Laurent Coust/ABACAPRESS.COM
