French prosecutors have demanded prison sentences of up to 20 years for 51 men accused of participating in the repeated drugging and rape of Gisèle Pelicot over a decade. The trial, known as the Mazan rape case, has shocked the nation and gained global attention as a symbol in the fight against sexual violence.
The heaviest sentence requested is for Dominique Pelicot, Gisèle's former husband, who prosecutors say orchestrated the attacks by sedating her with tranquillisers and inviting strangers he met online to assault her.
