Lawyers of three men who repeatedly visited a French home to rape a woman while unconscious Wednesday (Dec 4) pleaded for leniency, with one arguing that her "wolf" of a husband had manipulated his client.
In a trial that has shocked France since it opened in September, the main defendant, 72-year-old Dominique Pelicot, has admitted to enlisting dozens of strangers to rape his then-wife Gisele Pelicot, now 71, after drugging her with sleeping pills.
Prosecutors have sought a maximum 20-year jail term for Dominique Pelicot, and 10 to 18 years in prison for 49 of the 50 other co-defendants accused of rape or attempted rape, with a four-year punishment requested in only one case.
Among them is Dominique D, a 45-year-old truck driver, who has admitted to visiting the Pelicot home six times between 2016 and 2020 to have intercourse with Gisele Pelicot while fully aware that she was sleeping and therefore could not give her consent.
The prosecution has asked that he be jailed for 17 years.
