Gisèle Pelicot, 72, struck a defiant note during her testimony Wednesday as defense lawyers raised doubts about whether she was fully unconscious during the alleged rapes by dozens of men over a decade, suggesting she may have consented to the repeated assaults orchestrated by her former husband, Dominique Pelicot, 71.
“I have felt humiliated," an outraged Gisèle Pelicot said of the arguments alleging she was an alcoholic or being her ex-husband's co-conspirator. “In the state I was in, I absolutely could not respond. I was in a comatose state; the videos show that.”
At least 83 men were recorded on video and photos assaulting an unconscious Pelicot; 50 of them have been identified and are currently on trial accused of raping her, which many of them deny. Two defense lawyers for some of the men had asked the court to display photos which they said raised doubts whether the victim was aware of what was happening to her.

From what I’ve read, she had numerous health problems from the repeated drugging and saw doctors repeatedly about it, with her husband accompanying her to appointments.
I read she thought she had dementia because of holes in her memory. She also had sexually transmitted diseases from the rapes more than once.

I think she was having episodes of lost time and thought she was maybe getting dementia due to that. The police are who told her what happened to her. It’s an absolutely insane and heartbreaking situation. That poor woman.
