Man who abused Gisele Pelicot knew she was asleep — investigator

In a high-profile appeal hearing in Nîmes, France, Husamettin Dogan, one of 50 men convicted in a shocking sexual abuse case, is challenging his nine-year prison sentence. Dogan was found guilty of raping Gisele Pelicot, a 72-year-old woman who was repeatedly drugged and abused by strangers at the invitation of her ex-husband, Dominique Pelicot. The case has drawn international attention, with Gisele Pelicot emerging as a symbol of resilience against sexual violence after waiving her anonymity during the initial trial.
