Dominique Pelicot found guilty of all charges in rape, drugging trial that shocked the world

ABC  

WARNING: This story contains details of sexual abuse. A French court has sentenced Dominique Pelicot to 20 years in prison for repeatedly drugging and raping his then-wife for almost a decade, and inviting dozens of strangers to rape her unconscious body in their home. Speaking after the sentences were handed down, Gisèle Pelicot said she "never regretted" waiving her right to anonymity and making the trial public. Dominique Pelicot, 72, pleaded guilty to the charges earlier during the three-month trial and apologised to his family. The trial has triggered protest rallies around France in support of Ms Pelicot, and spurred soul searching including a debate on whether to update France's rape law, which at present makes no mention that sex should involve consent.
