Frenchman on trial for mass rape of wife to testify Wednesday • FRANCE 24 English
A Frenchman being tried for recruiting strangers to rape his drugged wife will be back in court to testify on Wednesday after being admitted to hospital, the presiding judge at his trial said. The hospital admission on Tuesday of Dominique Pelicot, a 71-year-old retiree accused of repeatedly raping and enlisting dozens of strangers to abuse his heavily sedated wife, had sparked speculation that the trial may be adjourned, but the presiding judge said the trial could now continue as planned.

It's normal thing in Europe
They should force him to attend. Was his wife’s health taken into consideration all those years? She could have died and even though he saw her declining he continues with his horrors.
Without her knowledge? I find it very difficult to believe that she did not know or suspect what was going on. Hundreds of men slept with her over a long period of time, so she must noticed that there was something wrong with her body, (physically and otherwise).
What is this psychobabble, i don't care if he has split personality or not, one person was wronged, punishment must be administered in proportion to the trauma caused to the victim, simple as. Why does Europe overengineer justice like this and make up excuses for the worst people at the expense of the victims?
Such a coward…
Every man in this case needs to stand trial. On the information given they are guilty. Her husband knew what he was doing , there can be no psychological defense.
