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.

"This trial is shaking up our society in our relationship with each other, in the most intimate relationships between human beings," Jean-Francois Mayet told the court in the southern city of Avignon.
