“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.

Park playing against Brazil in the 2003 Women's World Cup. The striker is now set to star for South Korea at the 2023 Women's World Cup in Australia and New Zealand. “Personally, I want to keep her like a flower in a greenhouse until the World Cup,” Bell said in April, hinting at a possible World Cup call-up for the 36-year-old striker this summer that has now been confirmed. ‘I scored a goal in the World Cup!’ I want this to be an opportunity where I can make this come true,” she said of her World Cup hopes. The 16-year-old was born in the US and, according to Reuters, is the first player of mixed heritage to be selected for a Korean World Cup squad.
