AVIGNON, France (Reuters) - The sons of the man who organised the mass rape of their mother Gisele Pelicot in a case that has rocked France, asked a court on Monday to punish him severely and said they would never forgive him.
Dominique Pelicot has admitted in court to inviting dozens of strangers over nearly 10 years to their house to rape his wife, now 71, after he drugged her. Fifty other men are also accused of raping her.
