THE RECORD. THE RESPONSE. THE RIGHT TO BE HEARD.

Allegations are not findings of guilt.

This website uses careful legal and editorial language to report responsibly and reduce legal risk. Our support remains clear: we stand with Jane Doe and all Jane Does. Every survivor deserves safety, support and the right to be heard.

Use this archive for source review, reporting options and survivor support. Do not harass, threaten, doxx, contact private people at home, identify survivors or treat an accusation as a verdict. Corrections and right of reply are available.

Source record: 2025-10-09

Conviction reported · appeal verdict

Reuters reported that a French appeal court upheld Husamettin Dogan’s aggravated-rape conviction and raised his sentence from nine to ten years. Pelicot chose a public trial and waived anonymity.

Sources, context & limits

This record describes the cited October 2025 decision. It does not assert that every later legal or civil development has been checked. Her decision to be named must never be treated as a requirement for other survivors.

Before sharing identifying details, ask about confidentiality, mandatory reporting, costs and language support. For urgent danger or medical needs, use local emergency services if safe.

You can seek support without submitting an account to us. A local advocate can explain medical care, evidence preservation, independent advice and available reporting routes. Ask which conversations are confidential and which may trigger reporting duties, especially if you are under 18.

Reporting to police, an employer or an institution is different from sharing with this editorial team. Laws, deadlines and procedures depend on your location. We do not automatically contact authorities or institutions.
