The bravest of the brave .
Her courage, her determination, her insistence of seeing this through.

Totally agree. I see the husband only got 20 years ..... nowhere near enough for what he did IMO.

User346897543 · 19/12/2024 17:22

May she find happiness and peace

@NagathaCrispy totally agree, what a piece of shit he is.

GameOfJones · 19/12/2024 18:15

She is incredible. Her dignity and strength in the face of this horror is genuinely inspirational.

She has said she wants to see "shame switch sides" from the victim to the rapists and she is correct. They are shameful, disgusting men.

Why did he only get 20 years?

Why did he only get 20 years?

Maximum sentence for rape in France 😡

HoundsOfHelfire · 19/12/2024 18:20

That’s awful! 20 years is too lenient.

Fizbosshoes · 19/12/2024 18:21

Apparently he's considering an appeal.....😳 on what grounds i have not the faintest idea.

She is very courageous and he is despicable. It's bad enough that he came up with the idea but I'm also appalled so many other men went along with it. And then tried to claim they were misled.

I'm just glad he got the maximum sentence because he deserved life, he's sentenced Gisele to a life where she's never going to forget what she went through. Imagine if it had been in this country, UK, he'd have probably got 2 years suspended because it seems like over here they don't give a shit about rapists😡

TheTwirlyPoos · 19/12/2024 18:24

Has anyone seen what one or the defendant's lawyer said to protesters outside? Called them bored knitters or something and said 'up yours'.

What the hell?

Consent doesn't even factor in France's legal definition of rape, they are way behind most other countries (including the UK) on this.

Didn't know that, but they at least gave a decent sentence whereas the sentences for rape In the UK are a fucking joke

FeegleFrenzy · 19/12/2024 18:27

I saw a list of lots of names of other men with varying sentences. Does anyone know if they were all imprisoned or were some found not guilty?

Princessfluffy · 19/12/2024 18:28

Sentences were too short.
I hope all of the men are named and publicly shamed.

Gisele Pelico is my person of the year 2024

All were found guilty, I believe.

niadainud · 19/12/2024 18:34

I find it mind-blowing that someone did this to their wife. The person they are supposed to love.

How she will ever be able to trust another man for the rest of her life I have no idea.

TaylorSwish · 19/12/2024 18:37

I honestly don’t think I have felt such strong feelings of admiration and respect for a woman that isn’t a relative before.
She’s amazing. I wish she could read everything I have read about her.

Ohthatsabitshit · 19/12/2024 18:38

The whole thing is unthinkable. What an inspiring woman she is.

PurplePanda1 · 19/12/2024 18:42

Gisele is so dignified and strong, she’s amazing.

Do they get time off for good behaviour in prison in France? I hope not.

NovemberMorn · 19/12/2024 18:44

I agree with all the comments that she is a very brave woman.
Their daughter says she thinks she was also raped by him.

Evil bastard, lets hope he dies in prison.

deeahgwitch · 19/12/2024 18:50

There are 11 other depraved men featured on the videos that the French police failed to identify and were not prosecuted.
🤞they will be named and shamed identified and charged soon also.

I hope a widely read French paper or magazine publishes the names and photographs of each and every man involved in the depravity.

Gisele you are one strong woman ⭐️

dollybird · 19/12/2024 18:54

I just read that one of the men is HIV positive. I watched the channel 5 documentary. The whole thing is horrific, but Gisele is unbelievably brave.

All the names are on the BBC website article on the sentencing.

dapsnotplimsolls · 19/12/2024 18:58

Some of them will be freed immediately because of time already served. Bastards.

deeahgwitch · 19/12/2024 19:01

Names and photos of the depraved men in French media is far more important than on the BBC website @dollybird
