French prosecutors seek up to 12-year terms for defendants in Pelicot mass rape trial

Prosecutors earlier this week requested a maximum 20-year jail term for Dominique Pelicot, who has been on trial with 49 other men for organising the rapes and sexual abuse of Gisele Pelicot, now his ex-wife. On Tuesday, prosecutors demanded sentences of up to 12 years for some of the remaining co-defendants.
