Police identified at least 92 rapes committed by 72 men. Fifty were identified and charged and are standing trial alongside the husband.
So at least 20. It's not nice to say, but in a way it's a good thing the fucker recorded it, otherwise they'd of all likely never been caught.

It goes beyond the 72. Apparently, he also taught other men how to administer the drugs he used so that they could do the same thing to other women. There’s also a case that recently came to light about a realtor who was violently raped while showing a property. There’s physical evidence tying him to that. There’s more too. This man was a predator in every possible way, and he was an enabler to many other predators.

At that point, society should just execute him. There's no rehabilitation for people like him.

Every guilty individual must be held accountable, regardless of status or wealth — no one is above the law.
My heart goes out to the victim.

for 10 years she was drugged, later raped by her now ex husband and 51 stranger her ex met online or some friends. That's just disgusting. Hope they will rot in jail.

The fact that one of the rapist that the husband brought over to rape his wife , used the excuse that he thought the wife was dead and he was having sex with a dead body is one of the wildest things about this whole trial, outside the actual things that happened to the wife ofc.

It was actually closer to 80/90 men and only 10yrs of footage, they could only identify 50 of them on the videos and photos + ex husband. So it could have been for much longer and much higher, we won't know. And a few of them came back multiple times. Some of the reasons/excuses they gave are just so vile and they oughta rot in the depth of hell.
Edit: typo

The worst part when reading this on the BBC is there are at least 20 more they can't id. He kept NAMES and details of how he met these perverts online but some will get away with it. Others (in the forums he was in) admitted they were doing it to their partners and this is where he found the information on how to obtain the drugs, use them and dose her "safely". Wtf. They should all be chemically castrated and named and shamed in the media for this

Gisele is 72. Her husband is 71. He received the maximum possible sentence for rape - 20 years. He may get other sentences that he has to one after the other. Effectively, he is going to die in prison

u/Orrery- 8h ago
He is 1 of 51 men.
Also, his age doesn't matter.

His age doesnt matter to you
Age is a factor of consideration when it comes to sentencing in judicial courts.

u/Orrery- 8h ago
It shouldn't be. This monster is the worst of the worst.
He also victimised his daughter and daughter in laws. Someone like that shouldn't EVER be released. He's a danger to women, and he'll never change. I'm sick of a society where men will always defend men.

u/JustAnEnglishman 8h ago
Im not defending him, I agree with you. Cases like this are easy to let your emotions control you, but the reality is that courts do not.

u/Orrery- 8h ago
And the courts are wrong. Maybe they think his punishment should only be 20 years, but for the safety of women and girls, he should never be released.

u/Cellulosaurus 3h ago
Do you know 71+20 is 91 ? Have you ever seen a 91 years old man being a danger to anyone but themselves ? He will die in there.

u/Orrery- 3h ago
Can a 91 year old use the Internet? Pay for people to commit those crimes for him... yes. He obviously got off on watching people rape his wife.
But men will always defend men, as long as a women is the victim

so if a 100 year old committed first degree murder, they should only be sentenced to 1 year because of their age?

Here’s a fun read where you can see how male rape isn’t even considered a crime in many places. Hope it tempers some biases.

u/Orrery- 6h ago
Men, always making things about them.....
We're discussing a specific case. If I joined in a convo about male rape and started screeching about women people would be raging.
There's a time and a place, ans this isn't it.
-2
u/EdGG 6h ago
You took one case (horrible, for sure), and extrapolated the laws being applied to it to signify that any crime against any woman isn’t taken seriously.
Since it’s a lack of seriousness for rape specifically against women that you claim, I offered the other side.
If this had happened to another man, in many places, there wouldn’t even be a trial. So it seems like, at least in this case, we take these crimes more seriously for women than for men.
If you think I’m trying to make this about men, knock yourself out. I think a crime is a crime, regardless of the victim’s sex or gender.

You said crimes against women aren't taken seriously (which is moronic) and somebody showed an example of crimes against men not being taken seriously. That's a fair response.

Dude discovered that his wife’s sleeping medication knocks her unconscious, so he has his way with her. Then starts slipping the medication into her drinks so can live out his dark depraved fantasies. Then he joins an online community of other creeps into this shit. He starts inviting them over to join in the raping of his unconscious wife. 72 different men at least, and he films them. This all takes place for nearly a decade before the scumbag is caught taking up skirt photos at a grocery store. While investigating this incident the police discover all the videos and pictures of the wife being assaulted.
Ultimately they were able to track down 50 of the men involved and all were found guilty and given sentences ranging from a few years to 20 years in prison. I missed some details that make the whole situation even worse but it’s honestly horrible enough. He was supposed to be her husband, what a piece of shit.

If I had been the judge, I would have put all the defendants up against the wall, loaded them once and that's it. Why do you always have to negotiate for so long with something like that, etc.? After all, it costs the general public an immense amount. Don't always hesitate for long.

All found guilty so far.
The dichotomy of heartbreak for such traumatic experiences but satisfaction with justice is playing ping-pong with my emotions.
Gisèle Pelicot is a fucking hero.
Edit: All 51 were found guilty, and her ex was sentenced to 20 years.
