Gisèle Pelicot's ex-husband won't appeal 20-year prison sentence

The Frenchman found guilty of drugging and raping his then-wife and soliciting dozens of men to do the same for more than a decade will not appeal his conviction, his lawyer said Monday. Dominique Pelicot wants to spare his ex-wife a “new ordeal” of another trial, lawyer Béatrice Zavarro said in an interview with broadcaster France Info.
