Gisele Pelicot is set to return to court after one of the men convicted of raping her appealed against his verdict.
Pelicot, 72, who survived almost a decade of rape involving dozens of men after she was unknowingly drugged by her ex-husband, Dominique Pelicot, will attend appeals court in southern France again on Monday.
Husamettin Dogan, 44, a builder, was one of 51 men convicted of raping Pelicot whie she was unconscious. He was sentenced to nine years in prison for the rape but has now appealed his conviction.
The first trial last year heard he made contact with 72-year-old Domique - dubbed the Monster of Avignon - in an online chatroom before driving to the couple's home on the same evening in 2019. He had told his wife he was going out for the night.
Dogan told the historic trial last year that he thought it was just a game. 'I'm not a rapist, that's too heavy for me to bear,' he said at the time.
