Judge rules public can view video evidence in French mass rape trial
Warning: This story contains distressing details from the start.
A French judge has reversed a ruling in the trial of a man who is accused of drugging his wife to sleep and recruiting dozens of men to abuse her for over a decade.

She has waived her right to anonymity in the trial, enabling the shocking details of the case to be heard in public.
