'Gisele Pelicot's bravery stands in contrast with vile, cowardly behaviour of rapist husband' The bravery and dignity of Gisele Pelicot stands in contrast with the cowardly, vile and depraved behaviour of her rapist husband and his accomplices.

The disgrace now lives permanently with Dominique Pelicot, who will almost certainly die in jail, and the 50 other men sentenced.
Money which should have been spent upgrading sewers and building new reservoirs was siphoned off to shareholders or used to pay excessive and unwarranted bonuses.
These firms have finally been ordered to do the job they should have done in the first place but they are insisting households pay for it in the form of higher bills.
