In the ongoing abuse trial in southern France, lawyers emphasized the collective responsibility of 51 defendants for the multiple rapes of Gisèle Pelicot. Attorney Antoine Camus suggested all involved understood the consequences of their actions. Pelicot alleges she suffered around 200 rapes, orchestrated largely by her ex-husband, who reportedly drugged her for nearly a decade. The trial is shedding light on the legal proceedings surrounding such crimes in France, highlighting the challenges victims face. Camus criticized the defense strategies as revealing of societal attitudes towards victims.
