After 10 weeks, the mass rape trial that has shocked France is moving on to the final phase of closing statements.

The case focuses on a formerly married couple, Dominique and Gisèle Pelicot, pensioners who are now in their early 70s.

Ms Pelicot's legal team will give their final statements on Tuesday, and the defence will then follow, ahead of a verdict from a panel of five judges expected on 20 December.

I'm guessing this is the case where the ex-husband drugged and then allowed men to have sex with her while she was unconscious.

I hope they tar and feather him and then bury him under the jail. I don't understand why a person would do something like that. To anyone.
