Watch: 'I am a survivor' Gisèle Pelicot tells BBC Newsnight in an in-depth interview

'I am a survivor': Gisèle Pelicot's powerful interview with BBC

Gisèle Pelicot has told BBC Newsnight's Victoria Derbyshire that her strength comes from her "DNA".

Ms Pelicot was at the centre of the largest rape trial in French history. For almost a decade, she had been drugged unconscious by her husband Dominique Pelicot and raped by dozens of men he had recruited on internet chat rooms.

She made the remarkable decision to let the world know who she was, waiving her legal right to anonymity, before the trial began.

In this interview, she reveals she found it "inconceivable" that the man she shared her life with "could have committed these horrors" and how she is now rebuilding her life.
