Dozens of supporters of Frenchwoman Gisele Pelicot, whose ex-husband allegedly abused her by recruiting strangers to sexually assault her while she was drugged, gave her a round of applause as she left court in Avignon.
 
Dominique Pelicot admitted to drugging his wife and recruiting dozens of strangers to rape her over nearly a decade, begging his family’s forgiveness, as he told a French court on Tuesday: “I am a rapist.”
 
Pelicot’s hearing, the centerpiece of one of France’s most spectacular criminal trials in recent history, had to be pushed back last week due to his bad health.
