A French court on Thursday sentenced Gisele Pelicot’s ex-husband to the maximum term of 20 years jail for committing and orchestrating the mass rapes targeting her with dozens of strangers he recruited online.

    Including Dominique Pelicot, all 51 defendants in the case were convicted by the court with no acquittals.

    That’s what you like to see. Congratulations to Gisele, and hopefully this will help her feel as though she has gotten justice and can begin rebuilding her life. I can’t even imagine the trauma she lives with, and this justice is such a small consolation.

      NONE of this is what “I like to see”, but I’m glad she’s getting even this small shred of justice.

  • I still can’t believe he found 50+ other men to rape his wife with him… Like 1 or 2, I can understand finding a couple of other sick people. But this guy made an industry to torture his wife. It’s just… So messed up. I’m glad she showed the world that it’s not just scary men in dark alleys, but neighbors and coworkers as well.

        Chill. Voyager can accidentally downvote if you try to swipe back and miss the edge of your screen.

          Yeah Jerboa does it too, but there’s also a decent amount of misogynists on here so who knows?

    Someone with a Lemmy client that shows downvotes, who are these fucking people downvoting comments in this? Pro rapists? The men who raped her?
