Gisèle Pelicot has found love again, says she didn't want to

Gisèle Pelicot, who was raped by her husband and subjected to severe abuse by about 50 other men, has found love again.

She revealed this at the Hay Festival in Wales, according to the BBC.

73-year-old Gisèle Pelicot is at the festival to talk about her recently published autobiography, "A Tribute to Life: Shame Must Change Sides."

"I didn't think it could happen, especially at my age. I didn't really want to fall in love, but life decided otherwise," she said when interviewed on stage at the literary festival.

Her ex-husband, Dominique Pelicot, is serving a 20-year prison sentence in France for drugging and raping Gisèle Pelicot over many years and allowing around 50 other men to rape her.
