Sotton expressed deep regret for accusing Gisele Pelicot of being an accomplice in a sex game, and apologized both in court and via letter from prison.
During testimony, Sotton reasoned that he did not perceive Ms Pelicot as drugged, saying, 'I thought she was an accomplice,' highlighting his troubling mindset about consent.
Trial judge Roger Arata challenged Sotton's understanding of consent, stating, 'You admit that an unconscious person is absolutely not able to consent to anything?' to which Sotton affirmed.
Sotton acknowledged performing a sex act on Ms Pelicot, asserting, 'I did not know that she would be unconscious,' reflecting his lack of awareness regarding the situation.
