One brave lady.  

[chelle7272]

Indeed she is.  I have been watching it this morning. The other sentences could have been longer imo.

 

[jackthehat]

Whilst the prison-sentences could have been longer (but French Law is very different from ours), at least all the rapists have been exposed, named and shamed across the world.

She has my undying admiration and I hope the future is kind to her.

[straydog]

Well said jackthehat

[albaqwerty]

Exceptional woman.

I hope those jailed meet their karma hard and repeatedly.

[cashier]

So brave, so dignified. Well done Gisele.

[ladybirder]

Lovely to see her smiling today after justice was dispensed.

[pastafreak]

Such a courageous woman.

[Patsy33]

Sweet Justice, but at what price? I hope she has the strength to deal with this poor lady. She's been very brave indeed. I wish her a long, peaceful & happy life.

 

[barry1010]

Remarkable lady.

[DDIL]

I hope that any spouses of her other rapists have lawyers on speed dial.

A very very brave woman.

[Lie-in King]

An astonishing lady, so courageous & dignified.

I hope none of her abusers ever know a moment's peace.

[Peter Pedant]

apparently consent or lack of it is not a feature of Rape ( viol) in French Law so God knows how it proceeded

[Peter Pedant]

Beeb in French - oo la la !

Her daughter, Caroline Darian, is releasing her book, I'll Never Call Him Dad Again, on 14 January.  It appears that she was likely one of his victims too after a file was found on his computer with indecent images he took of her whilst she was apparently drugged. His perversity and depravity clearly knew no bounds. The book is on my "to-buy" list with my Christmas money.

It's a shame her husband couldn't have got longer. I only hope that all the other men who have been charged are given sentences that mirror the depth of the torment and suffering they have inflicted upon her. Vile specimens, all of them.

Gisèle Pelicot, on the other hand, is one inspirational lady. 

 

 

[Khandro]

I wonder how many lives have been wrecked by this. How many offspring must there be from these 51 men, having to live with this dreadful stain through no fault of their own?

[Mozz71]

What do you suggest Khandro? That they be let off in case it upsets their kids? The fault lays solely on the perpetrators. 

[curlyfries81]

I don't think Khandro is suggesting anything of the sort. He's quite rightly pointing out how many victims there are as a result of the actions of these despicable men.

[Khandro]

mozz; //What do you suggest Khandro? That they be let off in case it upsets their kids? The fault lays solely on the perpetrators. //

 

No, what I suggest is you use what little brain you've got before posting. 

Thank you cf

the utter rubbish some of the defendents came out with was reprehensible. "we didn't know she was unconscious", what a bare-faced lie.
