The only man to appeal against his conviction for raping Gisele Pelicot has seen his sentence increased.
Husamettin Dogan, 44, an unemployed builder, was the only one to have maintained an appeal after the first trial last year of 51 men, including Pelicot's husband Dominique Pelicot, in the mass sexual abuse case.
On Thursday he was handed a 10-year prison term after a jury of nine people found him guilty of raping Ms Pelicot in her bedroom in the early hours of June 29, 2019.
A lower court last year sentenced the 44-year-old to a nine-year prison sentence after prosecutors had requested 12 years.
Dogan, a Turkish-born married father, made contact with her then husband in an online chat room where Pelicot was looking for men to come to his house and rape his wife while she was drugged.
