In the courthouse in the southern French city of Avignon, Gisèle Pelicot spoke out once again on Tuesday about the rapes she suffered at the hands of scores of men while heavily sedated, assaults that were instigated by her husband over a decade. The victim expressed indignation at the defence's attempts to portray her as an "accomplice" of her husband, Dominique Pelicot.
“Ever since I arrived in this courtroom, I've felt humiliated,” said a visibly angry Gisèle Pelicot. "I've been called an alcoholic. I'm said to be Mr Pelicot's accomplice. You have to have a certain amount of patience to put up with what I've heard," she said at the witness box at the court.
