'It is not up to us to be ashamed, it is up to them to be ashamed'

THE French woman at the centre of the Monster of Avignon multiple rape trial has addressed her abusive ex-husband for the first time in court, telling him: "You chose the depths of the human soul."

Gisèle Pélicot, 72, yesterday gave evidence that could lead Dominique Pélicot, 71, and 49 other men, all accused of "aggravated rape", to be jailed for life.
