During his first testimony in a French court, Dominique Pelicot, accused of drugging his wife to allow himself and dozens of strangers to sexually assault her, confessed to being "a rapist" and admitted that Gisèle Pelicot "did not deserve" the nearly ten years of abuse she enduredd.
Pelicot, 71, begged her forgiveness, but said he was no different from 50 other men he recruited online to take part in the sexual abuse, adding they all knew what they were signing up for.
