PARIS, Dec 20, 2024 (BSS/AFP) - France's president on Friday thanked Gisele
Pelicot, the woman who was drugged and raped for a decade by her now ex-
husband and strangers he enlisted online, for the strength and poise she
showed during a trial that shocked the world.

"Thank you Gisele Pelicot... For all of us, because your dignity and your
courage have moved and inspired France and the world", Emmanuel Macron wrote
on social media platform X, a day after her former husband Dominique Pelicot
and 50 other defendants were found guilty after a three-month trial.
