A former partner of a co-defendant in a mass rape trial that has sparked horror and protests in France broke down in tears on Monday (Sep 23), telling the court she had "lived a lie" and might herself have been sexually assaulted. "I don't know if I was raped," Emilie O, told a criminal court in the southeastern French city of Avignon. "It's terrible, I will always have doubts."

Emilie O is a former partner of Hugues M, one among dozens of men accused of participating in the mass rape over a decade of Gisele Pelicot. Gisele's then-husband Dominique Pelicot has admitted to drugging her into unconsciousness and inviting strangers into their home to rape her.
