The accused Frenchman, who drugged his wife with sleeping pills for years and offered her to strangers for rape, has confessed to his crimes in court. “I am a rapist, just like the others in this room,” said Dominique Pelicot on Tuesday in Avignon, referring to his 50 co-defendants. “They all knew about it, no one can say otherwise.” His wife Gisèle “did not deserve this,” said Pelicot.
