The public prosecutor requested, Monday, November 25, the sentence of 20 years of criminal imprisonment against Dominique Pelicot. He is accused of having raped and raped his wife by 50 men over ten years.
After two and a half months of debate, the Mazan rape trial has entered a new phase, with the requisitions for the 51 accused beginning, Monday November 25, before the Vaucluse criminal court in Avignon. The two attorneys general of this unprecedented trial requested a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison against Dominique Pelicot, the main accused. The attorney general also requested 10 years of socio-judicial monitoring and a re-examination of his situation at the end of his sentence.
“The maximum sentence is 20 years of criminal imprisonment, it is both a lot and too little. A lot because it is 20 years of a life, whatever its age, it is not nothing. Too little in view of the seriousness of the repeated facts”estimated Laure Chabaud. A sentence of 17 years' imprisonment was then requested against Jean-Pierre M., the first of the co-defendants. The verdict which determines the fate of the 51 accused should not be given before December 20.
