Dominique Pelicot, a 71-year-old man, is on trial for allegedly recruiting dozens of strangers to rape his wife, Gisèle. Fifty other men, aged 26 to 74, are also accused of involvement in the alleged rapes. The court proceedings began last week and are expected to continue until December. Pelicot's lawyer has cited his client's health issues, including intestinal difficulties and a possible urinary infection, as reasons for his brief appearances in court. According to testimony, Pelicot sedated his wife and told the other men that she had agreed to have sex with them.

Beatrice Zavarro
1. Mr Pelicot is not trying to shirk his responsibility, he will not shirk his responsibility.
Stephane Babonneau
1. Pelicot and her children do not wish to be heard without him being present.
2. What kind of personality allows someone who claims to love his wife to inflict these scenes on her, to witness her decline, to put her in danger? How can this dizzying contradiction be reconciled?
Paul Bensussan
1. He may have been sincere in what he gave to see.
Annabelle Montagne
1. He presents himself as stable, a respected and appreciated family man, but at the same time he is dissimulative, with a propensity for transgression in his sexuality.
Marianne Douteau
1. Mr Pélicot's sexuality reflects his personality: it is ordinary in public, but within the relationship he is obsessive, as in matters such as partner swapping, which his wife was opposed to and which he compensated for by using pornographic forums.
