French prosecutors on Tuesday sought sentences of up to 14 years for some of the remaining co-defendants in the trial of a man charged with enlisting dozens of strangers to rape his wife while she was drugged and unconscious.
The requests were made one day after prosecutors requested a maximum 20-year jail term for Dominique Pelicot, who has been trial in the southern city of Avignon since September with 49 other men for organising the rapes and sexual abuse of Gisele Pelicot, now his former wife. One man is being tried in absentia.
