Rape case that has shocked France ‘raises questions for consent laws, health system’

Harrowing details have emerged at the trial of a Frenchman charged with enlisting dozens of strangers to rape his drugged wife in a case that has horrified France. The case has raised questions over France’s laws regarding consent, as well as for the medical system after doctors who examined the victim over a number of years failed to raise the alarm, says FRANCE 24’s Annette Young.

  1. Honestly trying to blame the medicine Here is ridiculous. Those men were the abusers they are to blame. For allt He doctors know she could have been cheating, they could be swinging and honestly patients lie constantly. It is Not a doctors Job to Look Out for Predators more than everybody else, and afterall the medical only saw her a couple of Times their Friends and familys saw them constantly, why aren't they getting critised? The only reason why people blame medics is to avoid to unpleasent truths 1. Everyone can be an abuser (Your Brother, father, friend etc) 2. Everyone can become a victim (yes, you too). And without the Police and the judges nobody will fight for you.

  2. She was drugged so she could not in any way give consent . Truly disgusting . What does this say about society today . 🌎🤢

  3. This horrendous poor woman. How can a husband do that to his wife? I hope she gets some swift justice. How did these so called doctors miss this? Were they witch doctors?

  4. Until MEN start widely and strongly proclaiming that this sort of behaviour is intolerable, until THEY start demanding stronger laws and stricter punishments as demonstration of their determination to end the violence and entitlement to women's bodies built into male culture, then women can never trust them. Men benefit from keeping these horrendous men around, because it makes THEM look better- at least THEY aren't the seventh ring of hell. That in part is why women are backing out of marriage, of child bearing, of relationships with men- until the dominant majority of men declare that these behaviours are unacceptable then women cannot tell the predators from the safe ones, which means avoiding them all is the safest course.

  5. This isn’t about consent laws. This is unlawful drugging, rape and pure evil. Buzz words worldwide at the moment is “consent law”. 🤔 What next on the agenda.

  6. Why all news outlet shows picture of the victim and not the perpetrators? Convinced, they need to be shamed in public. But here, the victim is subject to million wandering eyes on her, making her feel uneasy ..

  7. While those other men may have “thought” they were engaging in a consensual situation; did the sight of this woman unconscious or likely incoherent due to all the meds she was forced to take – did none of that read as a sign something is very wrong and strange here ?! SMH

    & how does such a webpage even legally become public? Why aren’t domain webpages screening for things like this !
