Less than a year after the landmark verdict in a drugging and rape trial that shook France and turned Gisele Pelicot into a global icon, she was greeted with applause on Monday as she arrived at a courthouse for the appeal of a man challenging his conviction.

Husamettin’ Dogan, sentenced to nine years in prison last December, denies he intended to rape Pelicot. He argues that he was deceived by Dominique Pelicot, Gisele Pelicot's ex-husband, who drugged his wife and offered her to strangers online before filming the assaults.
