64% Informative
Prosecutors lay out the verdicts and punishments for 51 men accused of raping Gisèle Pelicot while she was drugged and rendered unconscious by her husband.
The trial of 51 defendants in the southern city of Avignon is beginning to wrap up after three months of hearings.
Prosecutors ask the maximum possible penalty for aggravated rape — 20 years — against the victim’s now ex-husband.
The court is expected to deliver its verdicts before December 20 .
Dominique Pelicot’s lawyer says prosecutors’ request for maximum possible penalty was justified.
“There’s no surprise in asking for 20 years , and that’re what I personally expected,” lawyer says.
It’'s still a shocking and heavy sentence for a man who’ll be 72 in a few days ,’ she says.
