A 71-year-old man named Dominique P is on trial in France for allegedly enlisting more than 70 males to sexually assault his spouse after administering her anti-anxiety medication, The Telegraph reported.
The trial, which is expected to start on Monday and last for several months will involve 50 out of the 72 suspects who include civil servants, firefighters and other professionals. Two of them risk life imprisonment while others are facing up to 20 years imprisonment if convicted.

A sample of his computer revealed 92 rapists involving 72 men. One defendant, a firefighter, was dressed in the uniform during an attack, and his computer was found to contain 728 pictures of child pornography.
Dominique P. avows of having spiked his wife with dopamine without her consent; however, his defence was that “everyone knew. ”Some of the co-accused people asserted they were told they were having consensual sex with a couple.
But, as it has been stated by the experts, the victim is not far from a coma while being in a state similar to sleep, therefore, the court has to decide whether the defendants are aware of their actions or not.
Moreover, charges of rape and murder that have been brought against Dominique P in 2000, 2001, and 2003 have not been proven true but he has been proven guilty of attempted rape charges which he committed in 1999 according to DNA. His lawyer has said he is ready to face his wife and family over such severe accusations.
