Gisele Pelicot’s ex-husband jailed for 20 years for organising mass rape of his wife

He has received the maximum sentence in France

The 72-year-old had confessed to all charges and admitted he mixed sedatives into the food and drink of his wife, Gisele.

He is one of 51 men who were on trial for participating in the attacks against his wife.

All 51 defendants were found guilty of at least one offence, with nearly all convicted of rape.

Dominique Pelicot previously told the court during his trial: "I am a rapist just like all the others in this room."
