Summary

France’s shocking “Affaire Mazan” trial is nearing its conclusion, with 51 men, including Dominique Pelicot, accused of raping his drugged, unconscious wife, Gisèle, between 2011 and 2020.

Dominique admitted to orchestrating the assaults, recruiting men online, and recording the crimes. While some defendants deny knowing she was unconscious, Dominique claims they were fully aware.

Gisèle waived her anonymity to inspire survivors and highlight issues like chemical submission.

The case has sparked national debates on consent and rape laws, with groups advocating legal reforms to align with societal views on consent.
