paris - Dominique Pelicot and 51 accomplices are set to receive their sentences in the high-profile rape case of Gisèle Pelicot, a case that has shocked France.

Gisèle Pelicot arrived at the courthouse in Avignon amidst a crowd of supporters, including her children, to hear the verdict on the case that has captivated the nation. The 72-year-old woman was met with applause and signs demanding justice for her.

There are suspicions that even Gisèle's daughter might have fallen victim to Dominique's actions, with incriminating images found among the thousands of stored photos and videos.

Dominique Pelicot, along with her husband and 51 other men, participated in the group rapes of Gisèle, who was drugged and abused for years. A further dozens of individuals may escape punishment due to lack of evidence.

The case came to light when Dominique was caught filming up women's skirts in a supermarket, leading to the discovery of disturbing content on his electronic devices.

Most of the suspects, who connected with Dominique through a now-defunct chatroom, are facing charges of aggravated rape, with potential sentences ranging from four to twenty years in prison.

Pelicot himself has indicated his acceptance of the maximum sentence of twenty years, while other defendants' lawyers have requested suspended sentences or acquittal. The defendants will learn their fate starting at 9:30 am, with Dominique Pelicot being the first in line.

The trial, which began in September, has garnered significant attention both in France and internationally. Gisèle's decision to forego anonymity has turned her into a symbol in the fight against sexual violence, with her bold statements in court highlighting the need for accountability on the part of the perpetrators.
