00:00In France, in the southern city of Avignon, a 71-year-old man is on trial, charged with

00:05enlisting dozens of strangers to abuse his drugged wife.

00:09This way, allegations against Dominique Pellicott were exposed in 2020, when he was caught filming

00:14women's skirts in a supermarket.

00:17During searches, investigators came across thousands of photos and videos showing his

00:21wife, Giselle, being sexually abused by strangers recruited via online.

00:26The trial, due to conclude in December, holds rape charges against Pellicott and 51 other

00:31men who were effectively tracked down, while the number of actual suspects rises to 72.

00:36The victim, who was unaware of the abuse that went on for a decade, has asked for the trial

00:41to be open to the public, as she wants the shame around these cases to change sides.
