A French court on Thursday sentenced Gisele Pelicot’s ex-husband to the maximum term of 20 years jail for committing and orchestrating the mass rapes targeting her with dozens of strangers he recruited online.
Dominique Pelicot, who had already confessed to the crimes, was earlier found guilty by the court in the southern city of Avignon after an over three-month trial that shocked France and turned his former wife Gisele Pelicot into a feminist hero. Including Dominique Pelicot, all 51 defendants in the case were convicted by the court with no acquittals.
