PARIS — A court docket on Thursday convicted 51 males in a rape case that horrified France and the world — and fueled a French debate on altering the authorized definition of rape.
The rape of Gisèle Pelicot, a 71-year-old retiree, occurred greater than 200 occasions and was orchestrated by her ex-husband Dominique Pelicot — who admitted to drugging her for years so he may recruit males on-line to have intercourse together with her whereas she was unconscious, as he filmed the encounters in Mazan, southern France.
A felony court docket in Avignon sentenced the ex-husband to twenty years of jail for aggravated rape, French media reported Thursday morning.
The court docket then started to condemn dozens of the boys for his or her roles within the crime.
