Headline: UNCAPTIONED: French Man Admits Guilt in Drugging Wife and Enabling Group Assault
Caption: French Man Admits Guilt in Drugging Wife and Enabling Group Assault. In a case that has shocked France, 71-year-old Dominique Pelicot appeared in court in Avignon to face charges of rape and gang rape. He admitted to all the charges, telling the court, "I am a rapist, just like the others in this room.” Pelicot is accused of drugging his wife and offering her for abuse on a website, while also recording and sharing the attacks. His now ex-wife, Gisele, who has waived her right to anonymity, listened in disbelief. She expressed her pain, saying she never suspected her husband of such things after 50 years of marriage. Pelicot, who was also a victim of abuse himself, asked for forgiveness, though he acknowledged it may not be forgivable. Fifty other men are also on trial in connection with the case.
