Arrr, matey! Dominique Pelicot, the scallywag who drugged and plundered his own wench for nigh a decade, be face down in the brig for 20 long years! A whole crew of rapscallions found guilty too! And savvy reporter Catherine Porter be spillin' the beans from Avignon, savvy?
Ahoy, me hearties! Gather ‘round fer a tale most foul from the land lubbers of Avignon, where a scallywag by the name of Dominique Pelicot did embark on a treacherous voyage o’ debauchery. This knave, who be no gentleman but a dastardly rogue, confessed to druggin’ his own wife and conductin’ a sordid revelry with a crew o' strangers fer nearly a decade, aye! What a sorry sight!On a fateful Thursday, the court, with the fury of a stormy sea, laid the hammer down upon him, convictin' him of aggravated rape and other heinous misdeeds. The scoundrel was sentenced to the maximum penalty—20 long years in the brig, where he be countin’ the days like a ship’s captain lost at sea. But hold fast! He wasn’t alone in his villainy; fifty other miscreants were dragged into the light o’ justice, most of ‘em facein’ charges of rape as well.
Catherine Porter, a fair reporter from the New York Times, be the watchful eye chroniclin' this four-month trial. So raise ye tankards to justice, for even the most vile pirate cannot escape the long arm of the law, and let this be a lesson to all scallywags who tread upon the rights of others! Arrr!
