my world has ended

She said her world came crashing down when police revealed the years of alleged rape she had been subjected to. Dominique Pellicat, 71, and 50 others are on trial for rape charges that carry a possible sentence of 20 years. The trial began on Monday and is expected to go on until December.

The identity of rape victims is normally not revealed, but Gisele's lawyer, Stéphane Babonneau, said she had given permission for her name to be published and had also insisted the trial be conducted in public.
