Gisèle Pelicot , 72 , has been on trial for four years for alleged rape.

She is accused of being drugged by her husband, Dominique , and 50 other men.

Her lawyer Stéphane Babonneau has guided her through the trial for two years .

The first day of the trial was still traumatic, but she was revealing herself in public for the first time.

Gisèle Pelicot was drugged by her husband Dominique , who pleaded guilty to the charges of rape and sexual assault.

Her lawyer recalls the couple's first meeting in four years , a shared sense of disbelief in court.

She has no interest in being an activist, but is simply thinking of how her experience of being drugged could now help make other women aware of the issue.
