  1. They are some horny and perverted French men. Having sex with a post menopausal women while she is drugged and after she has been inseminated by dozens in front of you is not something most men would want to participate in. Just the thought of that makes me a little nauseous.

  2. Male groups perving together…and no male groups motivated to create an interventive phone number to call and catchy jingle so any male fixating on some perv perp or another can " learn the skills" to not be a criminal with his trouser tube .

  3. is there even such a drug? I'ld like some. Before judging me, know that I've been kidnapped and drugged with deadly poison by an EU government which EU defends, because I denounced that government's and EU's drug and human trafficking. Now I'm a political refugee, and the drug damage caused me depression so wouldn't mind other drugs that compensate. French justice is a joke btw, read Papillon. I asked personally that the fake judges, prosecutors and other clerks on French territory involved in my case be arrested but they didn't even open a penal dossier. It's about the fake ICC (UN), and ECH (EU), and ECHR (CoE), but EU's and CoE's fake committees as well. I spit on the French government, and German for that matter. BTW orphans are drugged for profit all over the "civilised" and free (of law) western world, even 0-1 year olds, and those drugs destroy the brain permanently besides the rest of the nervous system causing things like autoimmune disease, cancer etc., that's what psychiatry is, drug and human trafficking, and political repression, not medicine nor science, and as a result it never cured anyone of anything ever, as before it was using heroine and opium as "cures", even mercury, and now it's using Nazi drugs (fluorine based poisons, which is a chemical weapon present in sarin gas, novichok as well as rat poison)

  4. I don't think its real, I think it's more plausible that she was complicit and is cashing in on prostituting herself for a second time by blackmailing her clients. If you think that's ridiculous: think about how horrible all them doing it to her would be versus how horrible my scenario I present would be. Then think about the mere logistics of each scenario: which would be easier to accomplish? She's not even a little complicit? Come on mate, prostitutes CHOOSE to work in their profession and they CHOOSE to use drugs to make it easier all the time. They also end up HATING men all the time. I just saw a thing about the woman that tried to kill Andy Warhol. I don't buy this automatic assumption of guilt when it's some spectacular Rube Goldberg machine type sex crime. When it's primarily one persons word against another without any physical evidence of a crime, the prosecution and plaintiff will exaggerate and lie. It's TRUE.

  5. Lawyer justifies rape because these were man with clear records and families. What a stupid excuse.

    Another lawyer; my client is naive and is unable to say no.
    Pathetic

  6. What if she were those kinds of kinky ladies who, with time, started to have regrets. I'm not accusing her of anything but just checking all possibilities. Happening a couple of times ok, but 50 people involved…

  7. One of the craziest and scariest things about this story is that one man puts an ad online inviting random men to come SA his wife —- and almost 100 men show up for it.

  8. This is HORRIBLE, in MANY ways, but the Lady is so brave to go public and stand up!!!!! Hope the identity of all rapists come out. And what about if the Media left her alone and focus on the rapers!!!

  9. While I was with my ex husband (13 years) I never knew him ( the facade he showed to me and others was not who he was), the things I found out after he replaced me were shocking. Most of his friends and certainly his new wife, have no idea. That’s why these men are of no surprise to me.
