"I saw these women, these mothers, these sisters testify in court that their son, their father, their brother, their husband was an exceptional man. I had the same at home." --Gis le Pelicot

Fifty-one rapists. One victim. An open trial. In 2024, Gis le Pelicot's story dominated the global media: a woman whose husband of 50 years drugged her for a decade and invited men to their home to rape her, over and over. Gis le's courage in the face of relentless adversarial scrutiny during the trial made her a cultural icon across the world. Critically, the men on trial are not monsters. They are ordinary men: good fathers, good husbands, good men. Why did they rape Gis le Pelicot?
