Gisèle Pelicot After Ex-Husband Found Guilty Of Rapes: We Share The Same Fight

After 51 men were all found guilty in the drugging and rape trial in France that turned Gisèle Pelicot into a feminist hero, she said on Friday that the ordeal was “very difficult” and expressed support for other victims of sexual violence. Pelicot said that “we share the same fight." They were her first words after the court in the southern French city of Avignon handed down prison sentences ranging from three to 20 years. She said that she had her grandchildren in mind as she endured the more than three months of hearings saying “it’s also for them that I led this fight.”
