Gisèle Pélicot speaks in court about her husband’s ‘immeasurable’ betrayal in gruesome drug and rape trial

The sensational trial of 50 men accused of raping an unconscious and unconscious French woman who was repeatedly drugged by her husband has exposed what critics say is a dark rape culture in the country. Gisèle Pelicot testified again on Wednesday, for an hour and a half. The trial, which began on September 2 and is not expected to conclude until December, has exposed how pornography, chat rooms and disdain for men or a blurred understanding of consent are fueling rape culture.
