Gisèle Pelicot, a courageous 72-year-old French woman, reveals her identity and exposes a decade-long torment where her husband drugged her and invited men to rape her.
The trial highlights societal failures surrounding rape laws in France, particularly that a lack of consent is not clearly defined, enabling victim-blaming and shame.
Many alleged perpetrators are ordinary men: a firefighter, a truck driver, and even a city councilor, indicating a disturbing reality about consent and societal norms.
As the trial unfolds, defenses offered by the accused reveal their disconnect from the gravity of their actions, with some claiming 'it's not rape if the husband is present'.
