A French judge has reversed a ruling in the trial of a man who is accused of drugging his wife to sleep and recruiting dozens of men to abuse her for over a decade.
Lawyers for Gisèle Pelicot, 72, had earlier appealed against the judge’s initial decision to only show video of the crimes to lawyers and the jury.
She has waived her right to anonymity in the trial, enabling the shocking details of the case to be heard in public.
Her lawyers argued the video should be seen to draw attention to the use of drugs to commit sexual abuse. They hailed the latest ruling as a “victory”
Man this lady is brave as fuck
Those weak French, amirite?
Them absolutely rioting over a small increase in retirement age made me feel shame as an American. I love how willing the French are to remind their government of what happens when it gets out of line. Like, “don’t make us break out the guillotines.”
The French are not weak.
Nailed it friend
The men who raped her were French too, and they outnumber her at least 50 to one, so your low level troll doesn’t even work the way you think it does…
Not American so this might be a stupid question, but does anyone actually say that? The French have serious islamophobia issues, but I don’t know anyone who would call them weak.
Yeah, its an American based stereotype AFAIK and the right winger trump types would be the most likely to spout it
