In Avignon, France, a 71-year-old pensioner, Dominique P., faces trial for orchestrating the rape of his wife, who was drugged into unconsciousness for over a decade. Alongside him, 50 men are also on trial for their roles in the assaults, totaling 92 rapes. The victim, who only discovered the abuse in 2020, chose a public trial to raise awareness. Dominique P. admitted to drugging his wife and participating in the rapes, while some accused men claimed they believed they were aiding a consensual fantasy. The trial, which includes charges of past crimes, is set to continue until December.
