Gisèle Pelicot Exits Courtroom Amid Disturbing Testimony in Avignon Rape Trial

The trial involves Dominique Pelicot and 50 other men accused of drugging and raping Gisèle Pelicot over several years.

Vincent C., one of the accused, testified he did not realize he was committing rape, believing it to be part of a consensual sex game.
The court was shown video evidence of the assaults, prompting Gisèle Pelicot to leave the courtroom in distress.
Dominique Pelicot allegedly offered his wife for abuse online, with police uncovering thousands of photos and videos documenting the crimes.
Despite the harrowing nature of the evidence, Gisèle Pelicot insisted the trial remain public to shift the shame onto the perpetrators.
The accused face potential sentences of up to 20 years in prison, with a verdict expected in mid-December.
