Lawyers for some of the men accused of raping an unconscious French woman who had been drugged by her husband questioned her Wednesday about her habits, personal life and sex life, and even questioned whether she was truly unconscious during the encounters.

that's absolutely ridiculous coming from the lawyers, what the fuck

and reading the rest of the article.. was harrowing to say the least, so much nonsensical victim blaming going on

If they've seen the video evidence and have seen no autonomous activity from her (if what she says is true), wouldn't you understand that none of this was consensual?

Also Dominique Pélicot (the ex-husband)

already said during the trial that all of the accusations against him are true, came out in support of his ex-wife, saying, “Stop suspecting her all the time ... I did many things without her knowing.”
