The trial of Dominique Pelicot and 50 co-accused in Avignon has taken a dramatic turn as defense lawyers requested the viewing of intimate images to "manifest the truth.

" These images, allegedly taken without Gisèle Pelicot's consent, are central to the defense's argument that she was complicit in the acts.

Gisèle, however, claims she was sedated and unaware of the photos, which were used to lure men into their home.

The case has sparked discussions about patriarchal dynamics, with some viewing it as a broader societal issue.

Despite the gravity of the case, the police officers who uncovered the scandal have not been called to testify, highlighting systemic challenges within law enforcement.
