Scandal trial in France: Men claim they didn't know they were raping!

Shocking revelations in France mass rape trial!

In one of the most sensational criminal trials in recent years, Gisele Pelicot, the victim of a gruesome mass rape, sharply condemned the cowardice of the numerous defendants. These men facing trial claim they did not know they were committing rape and blame it on their husband, Dominique Pelicot, who recently admitted drugging his wife and inviting strangers to abuse her while she was unconscious.

"For me, this is the process of cowardice. There is no other description," Gisele Pelicot said on Tuesday. She called on the defendants to take responsibility for their actions: "You raped. Rape is rape." The men who have appeared in court in recent weeks have repeatedly said they did not intend to rape, and many have cited manipulation by their husbands.

Unbelievable evidence in the courtroom

Shocking videos taken by her husband were shown in the courtroom in which Gisele Pelicot can be seen motionless and sometimes snoring as the defendants abuse her. “If you walk into a bedroom and see a motionless body, when do you decide not to react?” she asked the defendants directly. “Why didn’t you call the police immediately?”

Gisele Pelicot only learned about the horrific acts four years ago, when police came across the videos and images her husband had taken of the attacks. Despite the option of having the trial held behind closed doors, she chose to hold the trial in public to encourage other women and show that victims do not have to be ashamed. “It’s time for society to look at this macho-patriarchal view and change,” she said in court.

The trial has shocked the country and sparked nationwide protests in support of Gisele Pelicot, who has now become a symbol in the fight against sexual violence in France. The verdict is expected around December 20th.
