Feminist Activists At The Entrance To The Courthouse - Avignon
Feminist activists hold up placards as journalists queue to enter the Avignon courthouse on 19 December 2024, as a verdict is awaited in the trial of a man, along with 50 others, accused of drugging his wife and orchestrating multiple rapes over nearly a decade. A court in Avignon, southern France, is trying Dominique Pelicot, a 71-year-old pensioner, accused of repeatedly raping and asking dozens of strangers to rape his sedated wife Gisèle Pelicot in her own bed for a decade. Fifty other men, aged between 26 and 74, were also on trial for their alleged involvement in the case that horrified France. Dominique Pelicot was sentenced to 20 years in prison after drugging his ex-wife Gisèle and recruiting strangers to rape her for years. Fifty other men have now been sentenced alongside him. Dominique, aged 72, showed no emotion as the verdicts were read out. Photo by Laurent Coust/ABACAPRESS.COM
