Gisèle Pelicot has made a statement leaving the court:
Her voice did break at a couple of moments but she was clear and composed. Apologies for clumsy translation:
"It is with profound emotion that I speak to you today. It was a very difficult ordeal...
"My first thought is for my three children David, Caroline and Florian and my grandchildren...it is also for them that I have fought this battle as well as for my daughters-in-law....
"My thoughts are also for all the other families affected by this drama.. and those women whose stories are not recognised. We share the same battle.
"I have a deep grattitude for all those who have supported me during this ordeal....

Avignon. Mass rape trial. Gisèle Pelicot takes the stand for the last time: "This is a trial of cowardice. It is a trial of Dominique Pelicot and a trial of cowardice. It is time that this machist society stops banalising rape". #Mazan #Pelicot
Gisèle Pelicot: "Since the beginning of this trial, I've heard a lot of things that I were hard to hear, and I've become aware of that. I knew what I was exposing myself to by not going agreeing for the trial to be behind closed doors."
Gisèle Pelicot: "I feel like telling them at what point when you enter this bed room at what point did Madame Pelicot give you consent when you saw this inert body at what point?"

The courageous Gisèle Pélicot whose husband drugged her and invited men to rape her over a period of ten years, has taken the stand again to slap down claims by several accused that she knew what was going on. "Since I arrived at this court, I have felt humiliated...1/x
"I've been called an alcoholic that I got myself into such an alcoholic state that I'm an accomplice to Monsieur Pélicot. It is so humiliating and degrading to hear that," she told the court. 2/x
The president of the court asked her if she had consented to the sexual "partners". She said the question was "shocking".
"Absolutely not. I did not for one second give them my consent," she said. "In the state I was I couldn't say anything as the videos show". 3/x
