News reports that the trial began in September at the court in Avignon and has drawn worldwide attention.
Pelicot was found guilty of repeatedly raping his wife and enlisting 50 other men to participate in the abuse, which the court described as unparalleled in its cruelty.
The trial, which concluded in Avignon, saw 50 other men convicted for their roles in the abuse. While some received reduced sentences due to time already served, others walked free with suspended sentences or because of health conditions.
