newsnuzzleNewsBreaking News4 days ago38 Views

Dominique Pelicot has been found guilty and sentenced to 20 years in prison for drugging his ex-wife, Gisèle, raping her and inviting dozens of men to also abuse her over nearly a decade, along with other charges.

Pelicot had admitted the charges against him.

The 72-year-old was on trial with 50 other men, the majority of whom denied charges of rape. The court in the French city of Avignon found 47 of the men guilty of rape, two guilty of attempted rape, and two guilty of sexual assault.

The defendants now have 10 days to appeal.

Most of the 50 come from towns and villages in a 50km (30 mile) radius of the Pelicots’ own village of Mazan.

Among them are firefighters, lorry drivers, soldiers, security guards, a journalist and a DJ.

Here is a list of the men convicted. BBC had not previously fully named the defendants due to French law.
