This court sketch created at the Avignon courthouse in Avignon, south-eastern France, on November 25, 2024, shows defendant Dominique Pelicot (Top R) during his trial in which he is accused of drugging his wife Gisele Pelicot (Bottom C) for nearly ten years and inviting strangers to rape her at their home in Mazan, a small town in the south of France. On November 25, 2024, the public prosecutor's office called for the maximum sentence of 20 years' imprisonment for Dominique Pelicot, who for a decade drugged, raped and then had his wife raped by dozens of men recruited over the Internet in south-east France.

The Frenchman convicted of drugging and raping his then wife and soliciting dozens of men to do the same for more than a decade will not appeal his verdict, his lawyer said Monday.
Dominique Pelicot was convicted and jailed for 20 years earlier this month after a trial that horrified France and beyond, while 50 co-defendants were also convicted and handed various sentences of between three and 15 years.
