Gisele Pelicot was greeted by applause and flowers as she left court with her sons on Monday after they asked the court to severely punish their father for organizing their mother's mass rape.
A musical family-of-six has apologised after they released a 'remarkably tasteless' Gisèle Pelicot parody of Paul Simon's 50 Ways To Leave Your Lover, as critics attack them for trying to cash in on her rape trial.
Firefighters, soldiers, lorry drivers, a DJ and a journalist were among those found guilty of raping and sexually abusing 72-year-old Gisele at the behest of her husband over the course of a decade at their home in Mazan, southern France - all without her knowledge. The musical Marsh family has apologised for its remarkably tasteless' and 'shameful'parody song exploring the Gisele Pelicot mass rape trial
Another said: 'This is so disgusting. Using the horrific gang rape of a woman to get attention for your Van Trapp wannabe family. Shameful.' A third wrote: 'Can you talk us through the mental process which led to you thinking a jaunty song about prolonged gang rape was a good idea at all, before you chose to then do it in the style of a song about lovers?'
He added: 'To use the horrific exploitation & abuse of Gisèle Pelicot & set it to the tune of 50 Ways To Leave Your Lover for clicks seems bafflingly tone deaf to me….' 'But we were very struck by the incredible courage of Gisèle Pelicot, and the inspiring solidarity shown by supporters.'
