Gisèle Pelicot statement: ‘I never regretted decision to make trial public’

Gisèle Pelicot has told a crowd of journalists outside court that she is thinking about her children and grandchildren and all the other families and the victims of stories “often in the shadows”, saying “we have the same struggle”.

She added that she never regretted waiving her right to anonymity and “opening the doors” to the trial so that society could see what happened.
