A French public prosecutor has requested the maximum prison sentence of 20 years for Dominique Pelicot, who stands accused of organizing for more than 50 men to rape his unconscious wife. The prosecutor emphasized that Pelicot is “fully responsible” for his actions and highlighted the severity of the crimes committed.
The courtroom in Avignon, southern France, was filled with journalists and supporters as the prosecutor, Laure Chabaud, described Pelicot as a seemingly charming individual who was capable of heinous acts. Chabaud stressed that Pelicot does not suffer from any mental illness, making him accountable for the atrocities he orchestrated.
