Members of the Pelicot family did not attend but said they appreciated the public support.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">One woman on the march told French reporters: \u201cI am there as a woman, mother and grandmother \u2026 I am here firstly to support Gis\u00e8le, who is really very brave, and other women and girls.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">She said she hoped the case would persuade people to \u201clisten to women \u2026 and not close their eyes\u201d to sexual abuse.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">On Friday, judges at the mass rape trial in Avignon agreed to allow videos made by Dominique Pelicot of the alleged abuse of his wife to be shown to the press and public in the courtroom.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">The president of the bench, Roger Arata, had argued the court should be cleared of those not directly involved in the case because the videos represented an affront to public decency and were too \u201cshocking\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">The bench agreed to allow them to be screened in open court after Pelicot\u2019s lawyers insisted their client wanted them shown. As Gis\u00e8le Pelicot, 72, was drugged to the point of being comatose, she has no memory of the rapes and says the videos are proof of what she suffered.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">A majority of the 50 men accused of raping her have denied the charges, saying they thought she was pretending to be asleep and they had acted with the consent of her husband.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"81457d02-e283-4561-8acf-69f4c2dc2857\" data-spacefinder-role=\"inline\" data-spacefinder-type=\"model.dotcomrendering.pageElements.ImageBlockElement\" class=\" dcr-173mewl\"><figcaption data-spacefinder-role=\"inline\" class=\"dcr-1fujct4\"><span class=\"dcr-1inf02i\"><svg width=\"18\" height=\"13\" viewbox=\"0 0 18 13\"><path d=\"M18 3.5v8l-1.5 1.5h-15l-1.5-1.5v-8l1.5-1.5h3.5l2-2h4l2 2h3.5l1.5 1.5zm-9 7.5c1.9 0 3.5-1.6 3.5-3.5s-1.6-3.5-3.5-3.5-3.5 1.6-3.5 3.5 1.6 3.5 3.5 3.5z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><span class=\"dcr-1qvd3m6\">Women at the silent march on Saturday.<\/span> Photograph: Manon Cruz\/Reuters<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Antoine Camus, one of Gis\u00e8le Pelicot\u2019s lawyers, told the court: \u201cThe great majority of those accused say they did not have the impression they were committing a rape. A perception is subjective, everyone can have a different one of the same event. Here we must at least debate the credibility of the perception claimed by the accused that they did not commit a rape.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">\u201cFor Gis\u00e8le Pelicot, these videos explode the theory that the rape was accidental, due to inattention or carelessness. What they show is a rape of opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">St\u00e9phane Babonneau, another of Pelicot\u2019s lawyers, said: \u201cFor Gis\u00e8le Pelicot it is too late \u2026 the damage has been done. She will have to live with the 200 rapes she suffered while unconscious, and the brutality of the proceedings taking place in this courtroom for the rest of her life.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">\u201cBut if the public nature of the debates means that other women don\u2019t have to go through this, then the suffering she inflicts on herself every day will make sense,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Dominique Pelicot, a retired electrician, recruited men from an online chatroom called \u201cWithout their Knowledge\u201d and invited them to the couple\u2019s house in Mazan near Carpentras in Provence after drugging his wife with sleeping tablets and anti-anxiety medication mixed with her evening meal or wine.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">The father of three, 71, who was caught only after a security guard found him filming up the skirt of a female customer in a local supermarket and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/article\/2024\/sep\/05\/french-woman-world-fell-apart-alleged-rapes-men-invited-by-husband-gisele-pelicot\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">called the police in 2020<\/a>, has pleaded guilty to aggravated rape over a period of 10 years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Gis\u00e8le Pelicot, who has become a symbol for feminists angered at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2024\/sep\/21\/mass-case-france-culture-impunity-pelicot-trial-mayor\" data-link-name=\"in body link\">France\u2019s failure to respond to the #MeToo movement and confront widespread sexual abuse<\/a>, has said police saved her life.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">Another 30 men shown on almost 20,000 videos and photographs police discovered on a USB drive attached to Dominique Pelicot\u2019s home computer have yet to be identified.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-1eu361v\">The court case will continue until the end of December. The accused face up to 20 years in prison if convicted.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/world\/2024\/oct\/05\/hundreds-join-silent-march-in-france-in-support-of-gisele-pelicot\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A silent march took place in support of Gis\u00e8le Pelicot and other female victims of sexual violence on Saturday in Mazan, the village where Pelicot\u2019s husband is accused of drugging &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/?p=110840\" class=\"more-link\">Read More<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-110840","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-world","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/110840","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=110840"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/110840\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=110840"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=110840"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/hotvideos24.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=110840"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
