Alleged rapist of drugged woman 'sent alarmed Gisele Pelicot message'

Prosecutors say the husband shared more than 1 million images and videos as the alleged abuse spread from online chats to visits at home.

  • Nine men appeared in Manchester Minshull Street Crown Court on Monday to face trial for allegedly drugging and raping a woman at her Stockport home, a campaign orchestrated by the victim's husband over two decades.
  • Using a "stupefying cocktail" of drugs, the husband kept his wife unconscious for years, filming the abuse and storing evidence in a digital "confession booth" of his actions.
  • Police seized over one million photos and videos of the victim after undercover journalists on Telegram exposed the abuse by infiltrating a group where the husband shared illicit images.
  • Accused of participating in these "barbaric fantasies," the nine defendants allegedly derived sexual gratification from knowing the victim was unconscious and unaware of their actions.
  • Drawing comparisons to the Dominique Pelicot trial in France, the case continues as the husband, who pleaded guilty to 62 charges, is expected to testify against the remaining nine defendants.
