Reuters —Gisele Pelicot, the 72-year-old victim of mass rape whose ordeal has shocked the world, told a trial in southern France on Wednesday that she was determined that making her case public should help other women and change society. Fifty other men also stand trial, accused of raping her. Gisele Pelicot, her voice often shaking with emotion, told the court she was destroyed by what happened to her. Protests have been organized across France to show support for Gisele Pelicot, with many women expressing admiration for her courage. Only a few have admitted to raping Gisele Pelicot.

“I am a rapist, like the others in this room,” Pelicot told the court Tuesday, as his long-awaited testimony began. In a move rarely seen in France, Pelicot refused to remain anonymous. While many are charged with raping Gisèle Pelicot one time, others are charged with as many as six assaults. Indeed, Dominique Pelicot had been arrested before, nabbed in a supermarket outside Paris in 2010, using a pen-camera to film under women’s skirts. Dominique Pelicot obtained hundreds of prescription drugs from his own doctor, who declined to speak to police.
