This court-sketch made on December 19, 2024 in Avignon shows Gisele Pelicot during the hearing of the verdict of the court that sentenced her ex-husband to the maximum term of 20 years jail for committing and orchestrating her mass rapes with dozens of strangers he recruited online. Dominique Pelicot, who had already confessed to the crimes, was earlier found guilty by the court in the southern city of Avignon after an over three-month trial that shocked France and turned his former wife Gisele into a feminist hero. His 50 co-defendants in the case were also convicted by the court, with no acquittals. (Photo by Benoit PEYRUCQ / AFP) (Photo by BENOIT PEYRUCQ/AFP via Getty Images)
