Gisèle Pelicot Denies Consent in Rape Case Despite Contradictions and Evidence

Gisele Pelicot testified in France, asserting she never consented to the rape by a man who is appealing his 9-year sentence, while her former husband was convicted and sentenced to 20 years for drugging and allowing multiple men to assault her over nearly a decade. The defendant blames Pelicot's husband for luring him, but evidence and police testimony suggest he was fully aware of Pelicot's condition and participated willingly. A verdict is expected soon.

"Dani Alves Denied Release as Bail Set at €1m After Rape Conviction"

Former Brazil footballer Dani Alves will spend the weekend in prison after failing to come up with the €1 million bail required for his conditional release while awaiting the result of an appeal to his rape conviction.

The decision to grant Alves bail has sparked backlash, with the victim's lawyer calling it a "scandalous" decision, and all parties involved have been given three days to appeal. This comes in the wake of fellow footballer Robinho starting a nine-year prison sentence for rape, prompting discussions about the responsibility of athletes to set a positive example.
