Judge Arata said the unnamed man told police: "It couldn't have been anything bad because it was all filmed." Another defendant told detectives he thought Ms Pélicot was "play-acting at being asleep" as part of a libertine fantasy. In Pélicot’s case, the data eventually fell into the hands of police, who confirmed it enabled them to identify the 92 cases of rape. Of the 83 men involved, 51 aged between 26 and 73 were identified and arrested by the police.
