Gisèle Pelicot became a hero to many in France and beyond for courageously demanding that all the evidence be heard in open court.

A French court found Dominique Pelicot guilty on Thursday of repeatedly drugging and raping his wife for almost a decade, and inviting dozens of strangers to rape her unconscious body.

Dominique Pelicot, the ex-husband of Gisele Pelicot, was found guilty of aggravated rape. He drugged his wife and recruited other men to rape her.
