French Rape Monster Abruptly Hospitalized Amid Shocking Trial
The shocking trial of a man accused of facilitating the rape of his wife by more than 70 men over an almost 10-year period, has been temporarily suspended after he was rushed to a hospital.
In a case that has rocked France since the allegations first came to light, retired electrician Dominique Pelicot, 72, is charged with allowing 72 strangers into his home to rape his drugged wife, Gisele, hundreds of times between 2011 and 2020. Pelicot has admitted his crimes and maintains that his marriage would have remained “happy” had she not learned of his horrific abuses against her.
On Tuesday, his trial at Vaucluse Criminal Court in Avignon, along with that of 51 other men accused of participating in the conspiracy, was briefly paused after Pelicot was taken to a hospital complaining of an intense pain in his stomach the night before, The Sun reports.
