Dominique Pelicot is found guilty of aggravated rape of his wife, Gisèle , and inviting dozens of other men to assault her.

He was given the maximum sentence of 20 years in prison for the assault.

The trial began on Sept. 2 in Avignon , southeast France , and has been praised for her courage.

The case triggered protests across France and around the world.

I would wake up with my pajamas on," Pelicot told the court, adding that she would sometimes wake up "more tired than usual, but I walk a lot and thought it was that." "I'm trying to understand," she said, "how this husband, who was the perfect man, could have got to this.".
