## Caption

The only man who challenged his conviction for raping Gisèle Pelicot has had his sentence increased to 10 years.
 
The 72-year-old grandmother was drugged unconscious by her then-husband Dominique for more than a decade and raped by dozens of men he recruited on the internet.
 
Husamettin Dogan, 44, had argued he was a victim and denied rape - despite graphic videos shown in court of him penetrating a motionless Gisèle. 
 
Now, a court in southern France extended his original nine-year jail term. The Turkish-born married father was convicted of aggravated rape last December, during a trial in which 50 other men were convicted.
