Dominique Pelicot says 'chapter closed,' as others in mass rape trial appeal their convictions
Fourteen of Pelicot's co-defendants, as well as Pelicot himself, pleaded guilty to rape at the trial. Others denied the charges against them and said they thought that a husband's consent sufficed. One of those on trial was convicted of the attempted and aggravated rape of his own wife, rather than Gisèle, having copied Pelicot's methods.
