A shocking mass rape scandal has emerged in a small French town, where 49 men are accused of drugging and raping Gisele Pelicot over nearly 10 years. The alleged abuse was allegedly organized through a website that has since been shut down, but CNN has uncovered new forums where rape and sexual abuse are still actively discussed.
According to the police report obtained by CNN, Pelicot’s husband, Dominique Pelicot, is accused of repeatedly drugging his wife and leaving her unconscious. The investigation reveals thousands of messages exchanged between Pelicot and the accused in chatrooms, Skype, and text messages.
The French authorities have launched an investigation into the scandal, which has horrified France and shocked the world. This is not the first time that France has been plagued by high-profile cases of rape and sexual abuse.
This case highlights the need for increased awareness and action to prevent such abuses, particularly in online communities where perpetrators often feel emboldened to act with impunity.
