The trial of 51 men for the rape of Gisèle Pelicot began in earnest on Thursday as the first defendants took the stand. Their testimony included expressions of regret along with more ambiguous statements regarding their awareness of their victim’s vulnerable state. The recurring question was how the accused could not have been aware of a sleeping woman's lack of consent. http://dlvr.it/TDT3sW
More than a dozen more people have made accusations of sexual violence against the late French humanitarian monk Abbe Pierre, according to a report published Friday. With Pierre's once-saintly image already shaken by allegations of sexual abuse in July, these latest claims prompted his namesake foundation to announce that it would be changing its name and the Emmaus charity he also founded to announce the permanent closure of a memorial dedicated to him.
