A man has been imprisoned in France for giving his wife alcohol by forcing her to have sex with other men
The 62-year-old man is accused of organizing meetings without his wife's consent, in a case reminiscent of the scandal in the case of Gisele Pelicot.
A man has been imprisoned in Dijon, France,on charges of intoxicating his wife to force her to have sex with other men.
The case has similarities to Gisele Pelicot's media case.
The witness reportedly reported to the police that he had had a "libertine" sexual encounter with a woman and had "doubts" about her consent.
Then, when her 62-year-old husband was questioned, he confirmed his involvement by assuring her that he had his wife's consent, while his 42-year-old wife declared that she had drunk alcohol and "remembered nothing that night."
The woman therefore filed a complaint against her husband, who was immediately arrested. The French Public Prosecutor's Office accuses the man of rape committed by several persons and of supplying the victim with substances intended to cause him to lose consciousness.
If convicted, the man could face up to 20 years in prison.
Pelikot case.
This case is partly reminiscent of the case of Gisele Pelicot, a media trial around the world in which her husband, Dominique Pelicot, and 50 other men were identifiedfor their involvement in the rape she organized after drugging her wife.
Dominique Pelikot was sentenced to a maximum of 20 years in prison.
