Frenchman on trial for mass rape of wife back in court • FRANCE 24 English
A Frenchman being tried for recruiting strangers to rape his drugged wife will be back in court 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.

That is absolutely horrible!
OMG
Is he even human?
This is how French men and French in general behave
A brave and strong woman who is seeking justice on behalf of all who have been harmed by psychopaths! Love and prayer to this wonderful French woman ❤
I knew the French were into some crazy stuff but… really? Holy damn.
Only up to 20 years in prison?? That's not justice!
The manipulator is doing what he does best – manipulating and lying. There is nothing wrong with his physical health. He's a coward who does not want to face up to his hienous acts.
Not just French men this happened to me too. I didn’t think anyone would believe me
I went years before I said anything
I know exactly how she feels. She’s so brave and courageous! I wish I had been too 😢
Everybody is ill discovering what he has done 🤦🏼♀️
You want justice served but are not ready to put out the perpetrator's photos while putting out the victim's pictures.
Gang? Mass? Difference?
Prison with hard labour!
Dahmer level.
What was the reason? I just do not understand this person what a POS I am speechless strong brave lady wow
Male violence
I will not be surprised if they are all in a cult and are required to share partners
How convenient.
why does he get to hide away from his crimes??
why are we not using his name in headlines?!
there is no justice for the victim.
He has rights to be treated for ill health but treated his wife like she was a plank of wood with no rights or freedoms. He should get extra time for trying to pervert the course of justice
Sadistic psychopath!!!
This monster also photographed his adult daughter drugged and naked in lingerie that he purchased specifically for the abuse. He had a file on his computer titled “around my daughter naked”. This is the wife (plaintiff) and the husband (defendant) only daughter together. It is not known whether or not he physically raped her or had other men rape her and there’s no proof that he did unlike his wife, he also documented all of the abuse from what it appeared and the file it was all on was titled “abuses”
