The prosecution has requested Dominique Pelicot be sentenced to prison for 20 years for drugging and raping his then wife Gisèle Pelicot and recruiting dozens of others to rape her for nearly a decade.
"The maximum sentence is 20 years, which is a lot... but at the same time ... too little in view of the seriousness of the acts that were committed and repeated", Laure Chabaud, one of the two public prosecutors, told the court in the southern city of Avignon on Monday.
