Fifty one convictions today. That this ever happened to Gisèle Pelicot is an absolute travesty, we should all be outraged that any of these men felt that what they did to her was ok. She had immense courage for going so public with the trial & is helping so many by having done so
Dozens of men have been convicted of raping Gisèle Pelicot while she was unconscious. Here are the most disturbing moments of testimony.

This man changed so much and made such an impact. Thank you, Murray, rest easy.
Something that Tanya Talaga said a couple of weeks ago that hasn’t left me: when you think of Murray, think of the weight of hearing thousands of accounts of untold horror, and the toll it would take on your body. Think of taking that on.
