A French woman, whose husband admitted in court to repeatedly drugging her so she could be raped by other men, has testified on her years-long ordeal in the public trial of 51 of her alleged abusers, including him.
Gisele Pelicot, 72, took the stand for the first time at the Vaucluse criminal court in Avignon, southern France, on Thursday, recounting the moment in 2020 when police showed her images revealing a decade of sexual abuse, apparently orchestrated and filmed by her husband.
