A French court on Thursday handed down sentences against 51 men found guilty of participating in the mass rape of Gisele Pelicot, with terms ranging from 20 years for her ex-husband to three years for others.

Main perpetrator Dominique Pelicot got the maximum term of 20 years under the charges of aggravated rape. His 50 co-defendants received jail terms of between three and 15 years – less than what prosecutors had demanded. Two of these defendants had their jail terms suspended.

    Shoutout to Dominique Pelicot, the unsung hero who took one for the team by letting all those dudes have a go at his wife. Talk about community service! He really went above and beyond in providing… uh, entertainment? I guess when you can’t entertain yourself, you just share the love.
