Gisele Pelicot (L) arrives with her lawyer Stephane Babonneau at the courthouse for the trial of her former partner Dominique Pelicot accused of drugging her for nearly ten years and inviting strangers to rape her at their home in Mazan, a small town in the south of France, in Avignon, on Novembe 19, 2024. The trial enters its final stages, with the final set of accused set to testify ahead of sentencing requests later in the week and a verdict next month. The case of 71-year-old Dominique Pelicot has sparked horror, protests and a debate about male violence in French society. If convicted, he would emerge from the historic trial with a record as one of France's worst sex offenders. (Photo by Christophe SIMON / AFP)
