Frenchwoman Gisele Pelicot and her ex-husband Dominique Pelicot have given their final statements at the mass rape trial in France .
He has been in the dock along with 49 other men, since early September. Another defendant remains at large.Dominique Pelicot listened, with his head bowed."I want to say to these men: at what point did Mrs Pelicot give you her consent when you entered the room? At what point do you become aware of this inert body? At what point do you not report it to the police?"Mazan was once synonymous with the best of the south of France: vineyards on one side, lavender fields to the other.
"As I didn't want to go to a swingers' club, he thought he'd found the solution by putting me to sleep."She said she would never forgive her former husband.Dominique Pelicot has confessed to being a rapist. If convicted, he would emerge with a record as one of France's worst sex offenders. Caroline Darian told the court earlier in the trial her father had abused her, but didn't have proof.Pelicot looked at Ms Darian, who was sat in the courtroom on Tuesday and said he never touched her or his grandchildren.
