Prosecutors allege that for nearly a decade, Dominique Pelicot drugged his wife, inviting over 70 men to assault her while she was unconscious in their home.
The alleged victim, Gisèle Pelicot, requested an open trial, aiming to publicly share her traumatic experience and expose the horrific crimes committed against her.
Dominique Pelicot's lawyer stated he feels "ashamed" of his actions, revealing that the husband did not dispute the accusations against him throughout the proceedings.
Many of the men charged believed they were partaking in a consensual arrangement, as they were led to think the couple were engaged in swinging activities.
