French rape trial to resume after Dominique Pélicot health issues

Trial of retired electrician, 71, and 50 other men had been adjourned while he was taken to hospitals for tests

The trial of Dominique Pelicot and 50 other men accused of rape will resume on Tuesday after he was deemed well enough to attend court.

The hearing was adjourned last week after the 71-year-old retired electrician, who has admitted drugging his wife, Gisele, and inviting up to 90 men to rape her while she was unconscious and he filmed the attacks, was reportedly diagnosed with a urine infection and prostate problems and taken to hospital for tests.
