Gisèle Pélicot, 72, was raped by unknown men over the course of 10 years, after being drugged by her husband.

She was giving evidence on day three of the trial of 53 men - including her husband - who are all accused of rape.

Court documents indicate that Dominique Pélicot, 71, admitted to police that he got satisfaction from watching other men have sex with his unconscious wife.

Many defendants in the case contest the rape charge against them, claiming that they thought they were taking part in a consensual sex game.
