Not enough. These sentences are ridiculous. I am so sorry.
Light sentencing for these horrific crimes. The French "justice" system telling the world how rape and violence against females is discounted and dealt with lightly.
Why is the sentence for the husband only 20 years long? Even a lifetime is not enough for his crimes
The sentences are far too lenient.
Ridiculous sentences. Makes a mockery of the bravery this woman has shown. This isn’t real justice
Dear Madame Gisèle: you are a heroine and an example to so many of us. I wish you only the best. Bravo madame! I am not commenting on the length of the sentence(s) as I think that European Justice has a more integrative nature than a punitive one. What is good is that the horrors were made public and everybody can now try to understand how so many men have been getting away with such horrible abuse for so long, thinking it was normal. May the shame switch sides!!
They need to publish all of their names and faces in France. The public needs to know who they are.
But only because the perpetrator had filmed it all - otherwise nobody would have taken her serious, just as they do with 99% of grape victims!
Shame on FRANCE!!! Such LIGHTWEIGHT SENTENCING FRANCE!!!!
Not a long enough sentence.
This is disgusting. I cannot believe these monsters got such light sentences for such heinous crimes
Will see the identities of these men now? Will they be named and shamed? Will their families recieve help/support?
Obviously a lot of men think rape is not a crime.
This is not justice the rapists got such limited span of years to serve in jail. Disgusting. Justice for lady Pelicot.
Ms Pelicot, you did so great! You're one of the bravest and strongest women on this planet. 💪🏻💪🏽 I'm proud of you! Wishing you all the best! 🤎
Light sentences and identities kept secret. As expected.
Are the 50 men going to be manned and shamed?
this is beyond me, someone who copied this man's horrific behaviour, 12 yrs?? The 20 I can get, it is probably the maximum they can give, eventhough it should be life 'is life'. But 12 years? Someone that is capable of this kind of monstrous behaviour is a danger to women and society, he will not be a better man in 12 years
Shame on the French legal system for not taking rape and sexual abuse seriously. This is not what a civilised country does!
