    You seem to be implying that he put an advert in the local paper and otherwise normal men accepted the invite to participate. The truth doesn't seem to serve your agenda as, according to the Irish Times:

    'He met most of the men, the investigating judge’s report stated, in a chat room on a notorious, unmoderated French website implicated in more than 23,000 police cases in France from 2021 to 2024. It was finally shut down, and its owner arrested, in June after an 18-month investigation stretching across Europe.'

    This reporting also suggests this site is in use nationally across France and so goes against this idea those charged are all locals.

    There doesn't seem to be any suggestion of threats. In fact all the men in court admitted that he didn't try to force them at all.

    Here are a couple of the men in court, as reported by a journalist who is covering it live for RMC (a French radio station):

    https://twitter.com/MarionDub/status/1831252451518783592

    "There's a lot of detail given that I haven't written down; the descriptionof the videos is unbearable the victim is like "an inert body" I won't mention all the accused, now we've come to a 59 year-old tradesman installing refrigeration and cooling systems, a single father"

    https://twitter.com/MarionDub/status/1831253134867317016

    "This is particularly tough listening, the discussion between this accused man and Dominique P are chilling. Dominique says that his wife feels unwell and that he is thinking of calling the emergency doctor … before finally cancelling that call and telling his accomplice to come as they had agreed."

    https://twitter.com/MarionDub/status/1831255205951799720

    "Another one of the accused is a 43 year old ex-army man, a married father who is a neighbour of the couple".

    Nope we've been over all that. Instead of telling me what I "seem to be implying", just read what I actually said, and if any of it is wrong, feel free to point that out.

    You've misunderstood the other stuff about the investigation BTW. Read what MagicBastarder has said about it.

    Or just read the IT properly. There were 23,000 cases - those were entirely separate from this court case. in fact they seem to have mostly been about the site being used to bait gay men (not that the IT says that TBF.) But clearly there cannot have been 23,000 crimes committed against one woman.

    @kaymin

    I think the point is that they would have appeared to be normal men to those who knew them, perhaps some lovers or former lovers might have got a glimpse of their sick fantasies but aside from that, people would probably have been shocked to know what they did because they appeared 'normal'.

    Why would the site being used nationally go against the idea that they're locals?

    You said he put up an advert. That's not what the reports say. You also misinterpreted the posters reference to a threat - he was referring to the threat of criminality rather than a threat from the husband. In fact there's so much that you seem to be misinterpreting.

    An advert in the local newspaper? Did I? Where?

    He put up a post, if you prefer, on a site called coco. I've never said different. The point I was replying to was the explicit claim that he contacted the men according to how suitable he thought they were. He didn't. He put up the information that this was his plan, and men contacted him.

    That doesn't necessarily mean an ad in a local newspaper, and I never said it did.

    The same reason I doubt anyone I engage with on this site are from my locality. Maybe that site has a regional forum that allowed him to filter users by where they live - seems unlikely given it's nature

    The ones that didn't choose to rape her probably wanted to rape a younger woman.

    The OP is remarkably confused about details for someone following the case or is purposefully misrepresenting nearly everything.

    Boards is different though. It's just a discussion forum.

    I assume that that site was often used for making 'arrangements' so most likely it was split into regions or else they would make their region clear in their posts.

    I googled "Pelicot rape recruited locally" I found 4 pages of results, none of them match this claim. Best I got was another article, citing the times, which mentioned 1 of the perps was a local journalist.

    If you find it that would be great.

    An ex girlfriend of mine told me the guy she dated after we split went to his GP, pretending insomnia, got sleeping pills and drugged her drink in her home. Apparently he wanted to have sex while she was asleep or unconscious. I can't remember what happened, I don't think he succeeded

    If the 30% reported it they would be admitting to being in a dodgy chat room. As for reporting anonymously, I wouldn't bet on that possibility. Email and phones can be traced, even a letter is no guarantee of being anonymous. Not even here. Stamps purchase can be traced and tied to cctv

    Has he pleaded guilty for these charges against his wife? I presumed he had because he seems to have given the police a lot of information but then I was wondering why he's on trial if he's pleaded guilty?

    He pleaded guilty to an attempted rape in 2019 but denies a 1991 murder and rape so is that all part of it? It's very confusing.

    "Not all men" is a defence used by men against broad accusations of bad things levelled against "men" writ large by radical feminists.

    This case can be described as: sick freak goes into dark web chat room for sick freaks, finds 70 fellow sick freaks to do sick freak things.

    As for the country where this occurred, France, that country has a population of 68,373,433. So roughly 1 in every million French citizens (or one in every 500,000 men, roughly) participated in this, and the others had absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with it. So as to what this - horrifying thought it is - is supposed to be representative of, if anything, remains unclear.

    Did I miss anything?

    The original post should be edited. This idea of it being representative of all men stemmed from the assumption that all men involved were recruited locally from a small enough town. Apparently the OP heard this from earlier media reports but we've yet to see a link to the same (unless I've missed that).

    I suspect it was as simple as a translation error or something. Perhaps

    "Fifty other men are also on trial in the southern city of Avignon alongside the main suspect"

    was originally written as

    "Fifty other men in the southern city of Avignon are also on trial alongside the main suspect".

    That's 1 in 500,000 in just one case though.

    The website has been shut down as "authorities said it has allowed offenders to coordinate child sexual abuse, rapes, homicides and other serious crimes".

    How many more similar cases might there have been from that one website alone?

    No it's not 'all men' but don't try to minimize and make out these monsters are as rare as 1 in 500,000 either.

    Sickening and disgusting. I hope these men spend a long time in prison. Is this being passed off as one sicko inviting freaks from the 'dark web'? As if it's only basement dwelling losers who participated? It may have been a dodgy website but those who signed up to it were fathers, husbands, boyfriends, workers, ordinary men. Yes, there probably was some previously convinced scumbags also but that doesn't change the fact that this case is frightening. How could so many men not report this or see anything wrong?

    I'm sick of some men getting offended on behalf of rapists. It's not all men, we all know that but it's nearly always men. It's time we all face up to that and see it as a problem. You can't solve a problem until you admit it exists. These rapists weren't born on the 'dark web', they didn't grow up there, they didn't go to school there. We admitted drink driving was a problem and what did we do? We made the law stricter and we educated people and it has got better. I'm not comparing that with rape but when you have a serious problem like we see with SOME men, we have to increase the punishment and increase the education around it.

    Your point about drink driving is spot on: why don't drivers insist that any campaign against drink drivers always always always be prefaced with "not all drivers"?

    They don't because everybody knows that if you don't drink and drive you're not the one targeted by these campaigns. And that's equally true in places where spot breathalysing checks are done at random, without there being any infraction of the highway code.

    Yet when women want to talk about any sort of male violence against women, there's always this massive defensiveness from a surprising number of men, who seem to project any criticism of violent men onto them.

    It's going on here too, but not just here. It's constant.

    Anyway.

    The journalist I linked to earlier is live tweeting the victim's testimony at the moment and I'm trying to follow that, so can't really post on here at the same time. It's heartbreaking. She had no idea whatsoever. She thought she was married to a kind, loving man. Well, she was. In appearances.

    I'll post a link in case anyone is intersted (you can get translations on twitter if needed)

    Perhaps it would be better to have a campaign directed at bad women drivers? Agree? Telling them how to park and use indicators and proper lane discipline on roads and to stop them being the cause of fatal crashes. It can emphasis the importance of lessons and training.

    It should be fine - right? It won't be aimed at any good women drivers - just the bad ones so the good ones can't complain

    I have a slogan - "Women! Learn how to drive!"

    If 90% of crashes were caused by women drivers you'd have a really good point there.

    As it is, you're illustrating exactly what I'm talking about.

    Because women drivers cause fewer deaths and injuries than men. Yet here you are thinking that's a gotcha - for you. 🙄

    Irrelevant. You answer belies your actual reaction.

    I think we should have a campaign pushing education and training for bad women drivers - don't you agree? Do you not think that education and training is important?
