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.

Gisèle, who waived her right to anonymity, says she never regretted making the trial public "so society could see what was happening".
