A mass-rape trial in France has highlighted a pervasive “rape culture.” Dominique Pélicot, 71, admitted in court to drugging his wife, Gisèle Pélicot, and allowing dozens of men to sexually abuse her over nearly a decade. He also filmed the assaults. Pélicot’s decision to forgo anonymity is unprecedented. He revealed his own history of abuse, claiming it led to his actions. If convicted, he faces 20 years in prison. Around 50 other men identified through Pélicot’s media are also on trial, many denying the allegations. The case has drawn significant media attention.
