A French appeals court handed a stiffer 10-year sentence to the only man who challenged his conviction for raping Gisèle Pelicot while she was drugged and unconscious, French media reported on Thursday.
Husamettin Dogan, a 44-year-old construction worker, had been sentenced to nine years in prison in the first drugging-and-rape trial last year that riveted France and turned Pelicot into a global icon against sexual violence.
