A high-profile trial is underway in France involving four men accused of sexually abusing a woman over a period of several years. The case centers on the actions of the woman’s ex-husband, who has admitted to drugging his wife and inviting strangers to their home to assault her after advertising her availability on an internet forum. The ex-husband has pleaded guilty to the charges against him.

The current trial focuses on the four men who allegedly responded to the online solicitations and participated in the abuse. Prosecutors argue that these individuals were aware of the circumstances and the victim's incapacitated state, while the defense strategies for the accused men vary, with some claiming they were unaware of the full extent of the coercion involved. The case has drawn significant public attention due to the systematic nature of the abuse and the use of digital platforms to facilitate the crimes. The court proceedings are expected to continue as testimonies from the victim and the accused are heard.
