Then the officer warned her: I am going to show you photos and videos that are not going to please you. And then her world fell apart."
"The first photo showed a man raping a woman who had been laid out on her side and dressed up in a suspender belt. That's you in this photo, the policeman said.

The Independent covers topics from reproductive rights and climate change to Big Tech, investigating financials and producing documentaries while avoiding paywalls to keep reporting accessible. The outlet solicits donations to fund reporters on the ground and to send journalists to speak to both sides of stories. Gisele Pelicot's husband, Dominique Pelicot, secretly laced her food and drink with drugs over years, repeatedly knocking her unconscious.
