Gisèle Pelicot: The woman who stood up to 51 rapists - BBC Africa
Gisèle Pelicot has thanked supporters in a speech outside court, after her ex-husband Dominique Pelicot was jailed for 20 years for drugging her and recruiting strangers to rape her over nearly a decade. Fifty other men have been sentenced alongside him, in a mass rape trial which has shocked France. Gisèle, who waived her right to anonymity, says she never regretted making the trial public "so society could see what was happening".
