The assaults, allegedly orchestrated by her ex-husband, took place over nearly a decade in the small town of Mazan and involved a total of 80 men, 30 of whom have not yet been identified. Hundreds have gathered in France to support Pélicot and other rape victims. Pélicot has emerged as a feminist icon, highlighting the issue of drug-facilitated sexual abuse.
