    The case of Dominique Piqueux, currently on trial in France, has horrified the public with its sheer magnitude and depravity. Over a decade, Piqueux allegedly sedated his wife, Gisèle, enabling other men—whom he recruited online—to rape her while he documented the abuse through photos and videos. A total of 72 men reportedly responded to his invitations, with 50 facing trial alongside him. Gisèle bravely refused a closed trial, earning applause and support for shedding light on the widespread, systematic abuse. This trial has sparked a critical dialogue in France, particularly about the diverse profiles of the accused and whether they reflect broader societal tendencies. While some attribute abusive behavior to childhood trauma and psychological predispositions, others caution against using such explanations as justifications.

    The defense strategies employed—ranging from denial to claims of consent through the husband—highlight the disturbing complexity and persistent misconceptions about consent and rape. The case has also underscored the importance of societal education on these issues. In particular, it reveals how cultural understandings of consent, such as the need for explicit and enthusiastic agreement, may differ internationally.

    In France, as in other parts of the world, this trial may serve as a critical turning point in how rape and systemic abuse are understood, addressed, and prosecuted. Advocates hope it will inspire better rape laws and a more profound societal reckoning with these crimes.
