One of the worst sexual predators in French history - who admitted drugging his wife and allowing multiple strangers to r ape her - has today been jailed for 20 years. During a landmark trial that saw Dominique Pelicot stand to face justice alongside 50 other men, he told the court: "I am a rapist, like everyone else in this courtroom." The white haired 71-year-old grandfather appeared in the dock at the Vaucluse Criminal Court, in Avignon, and told the world what he did to Gisele, his wife of 50 years.
Before proceedings were set to get underway, retired electrician Pelicot was rushed from court after apparently feeling unwell and in pain. It is also claimed he was found vomiting and fainting in his cell before being rushed to hospital. It meant the case was adjourned several times.
His lawyer Madame Beatrice Zavarro told French media that the father was suffering from a kidney infection, had a bladder stone and problems with his prostate. She also said he wasn't getting the appropriate treatment in prison. When he did eventually take the stand his bombshell remarks left his fellow accused with no where to hide. Pelicot owned up to crimes that had seen his own daughter describe him as "one of the greatest sexual predators" of recent years.
He said: "Today, I maintain that, with the obligations we all have, I am a rapist, like everyone in this room. They cannot say otherwise." Pelicot also focused on crimes he had allegedly suffered as a child, saying he was raped as a nine-year-old and then forced to witness another sex attack when he was 14.
