SaralnamaA court in Nîmes, France increased the jail term of Husamettin Dogan from 9 to 10 years. Dogan, 44, was convicted of raping Gisèle Pelicot, 72, who was drugged by her ex-husband Dominique. He was the only one among 51 convicted men to appeal. The court rejected Dogan's claim of innocence despite video evidence. Gisèle was drugged and raped by multiple men over a decade. Dominique recruited these men online and filmed the assaults. The case was retried with a jury of 9 public members and 3 judges. Dogan insisted he didn't know Gisèle was drugged, but Dominique denied this claim in court. (Updated 9 Oct 2025, 21:11 IST; source: link)
