Dominique Pélicot, 71, is the man at the center of a mass rape trial in France. He admitted to drugging his wife and recruiting 83 men to rape her almost 100 times

The main defendant in a French mass rape trial spoke on the stand for the first time on Tuesday, admitting to being a 'rapist, like the others in this room.'

I maintain that, along with the other men here, I am a rapist,″ Dominique Pélicot told the court. “They knew everything. They can’t say otherwise.”
