The chilling case of Gisele Pelicot, a French woman who underwent horrific abuse perpetrated by her husband, Dominique Pelicot, is currently unfolding in a French courtroom. Gisele has testified that her husband drugged her, allowing numerous men to repeatedly rape her, with reports estimating that she was assaulted by around 70 men over the course of a decade. In her testimony, Gisele described the traumatic experiences she endured, stating her husband sacrificed her "on the altar of vice" and cited horrific scenes during the assaults, including her condition of being drugged, helpless, and unconscious while attackers abused her.

Dominique Pelicot is facing serious charges, including complicity in rape, due to allegations that he knowingly invited several men to assault her. It was revealed that one of these men was HIV positive, further compounding the distress Gisele experienced, as she now grapples with the fear of contracting the virus and other sexually transmitted infections. During the trial, Dominique shed tears as Gisele recounted her torment in harrowing detail, highlighting the long-lasting impact on her mental health and well-being.

The public response to this case has been one of horror and outrage, with many expressing solidarity for Gisele and condemnation for the appalling actions of her husband. She emphasized that bringing her story to light has been a vital step towards healing, allowing her to confront the trauma of her past. The court proceedings persist, drawing significant media attention as they spotlight the issue of domestic abuse and the severe consequences of such crimes on victims' lives.

As the trial progresses, both Gisele's testimony and the broader implications of her ordeal continue to resonate in discussions around women's rights and protection against gender-based violence in France.
