Husband in France mass rape case admits all charges

It’s a case that’s shocked France and the world. A 71-year-old man on trial for drugging his wife, inviting dozens of men to rape her and filming it, for almost a decade.

Today Dominique Pelicot told the court “I am a rapist” and said the 50 men standing trial alongside him knew everything.

His now ex-wife, Gisele, has become a hero for many rape victims.

Mr Pelicot is also accused of drugging and abusing his daughter after photos of her were found on his laptop, a claim he has previously denied.

Warning, you may find some of the evidence in this report distressing.
