Dominique Pelicot given 20-year jail term in France in mass rape trial

Dominique Pelicot, the former husband of Gisele Pelicot, has been found guilty of aggravated rape and attempted rape, in one of the most high-profile trials France has seen.

He was sentenced to 20 years in jail, after he recruited men online to rape his wife in the family home while she laid unconscious after he had repeatedly drugged her.
