A horrifying, monthslong mass rape and drugging trial concluded in France Thursday, with Dominique Pelicot and 50 other men all found guilty of the rape or sexual assault of his former wife Gisèle Pelicot.

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

Dominique Pelicot has been jailed for 20 years after drugging his ex-wife Gisèle, raping her and inviting dozens of strangers to also abuse her over nearly a decade. The 72-year-old was found guilty of all charges by a judge in Avignon,
