The trial of the Mazan sexual abuse case has revealed a disturbing network of exploitation orchestrated by Dominique Pelicot, who allegedly drugged and offered his wife, Gisèle Pelicot, to numerous men.

Among the accused is Christian L.

, a firefighter, who faces charges of aggravated rape and possession of child pornography.

He claims the latter was an accidental download.

Another accused, Charly A.

, denies intending to rape, despite visiting the Pelicot home multiple times.

The case has also seen former intelligence officers testify in defense of Joseph C.

, another accused, highlighting the complex web of relationships and defenses in this grim saga.

The trial continues to uncover the dark realities of abuse and manipulation within this community.
