Selon son avocat Me Antoine Camus, Gisèle Pelicot, 72 ans, sera là "avec la même combativité qu'il y a un an".

Overview

  • Husamettin D., the only one of the 51 convicted men to maintain an appeal, will be tried alone before the Cour d’assises du Gard from October 6 to 9.
  • In first instance in December 2024, he was sentenced to nine years in prison and he now contests both his guilt and the sentence.
  • Dominique Pelicot, sentenced to 20 years and not appealing, will appear at the Nîmes hearing as a witness.
  • The retrial is expected to last three to four days with a jury, and the defendant is set to appear free due to health considerations.
  • Organizers report strong media interest with more than 100 journalists accredited for a case that has fueled wider debate on consent and chemical submission.
