Dominique Pelicot and 50 other men have been on trial since September , and a verdict is expected on 20 December .

His daughter Caroline Darian , 45 , repeatedly said she is convinced her father drugged and abused her.

He has denied abusing her but has admitted drugging his wife Gisèle for a decade and recruiting men online to rape her in their home when she was unconscious.

On Wednesday he said he wished he still had Caroline 's support.

Gisèle Pelicot was living in a small village under her maiden name.

She gave up her anonymity and opened the trial to the public and the media.

She thought the details of her case and the videos of the alleged assaults would help expose the reality of rape.

She also urged judges not to accept that the defendants had made a mistake’.
