AVIGNON, France (Reuters) - Gisele Pelicot on Tuesday lambasted the cowardice of the dozens of men accused of abusing her during 10 years of mass rape organised by her husband and told the court hearing the trial France's patriarchal society must change.
Dominique Pelicot, her husband, has admitted in court to drugging his wife, 71, and inviting strangers to their house to rape her while she was unconscious. Most of the 50 other men on trial have denied rape.
Uh-oh! Daily quota reached.
