The website at the centre of the Pelicot rape case

Last year, the story of a French rape case and the woman at its centre, Gisèle Pelicot, captured global attention.  Dominique Pelicot was sentenced to 20 years in jail for charges related to drugging, raping, and inviting others to rape his then-wife, Gisèle. 50 others were also found guilty of varying charges including rape, attempted rape, and sexual assault. The case is back in the headlines after the founder of a website (used by Dominique Pelicot to recruit other men to rape his wife) was charged by French police. In today's deep dive, we take a look at the outlawed chatroom 'Coco' and it's founder, Isaac Steidl.
