Rudy Gobert's girlfriend Julia Bonilla reacts to Pelicot mass rape trial defendant lawyer's viral outburst

Rudy Gobert's girlfriend Julia Bonilla was one of thousands to react to a viral video relating to Gisele Pelicot's mass rape trial. All 51 defendants were sentenced to prison time, with Gisele's ex-husband Dominique Pelicot ordered to serve 20 years behind bars.

However, there was a mass protest outside the court by people who were dissatisfied with the ruling. Joseph Cocco, one of the defendants, was sentenced to three years in prison but was later released. He will be incarcerated later.

Christophe Bruschi, Cocco's lawyer, had an outburst outside the court when he came face to face with the protesters outside the court. In a video posted on Instagram, the defendant's lawyer had this to say (as per Daily Mail):

"My client has walked free... He thanks you and says, "Up yours!"

Julia Bonilla reposted the post on her Instagram story by saying:

"Insane. 🤮".

All the defendants have been punished with prison sentences. However, according to France 24, only 40 of them went to prison straightaway from the courtroom. The remaining will be incarcerated in the coming time.

Hundreds of women appeared outside the court, protesting against the court's decision. Blandine Deverlanges, the president of the feminist collective Les Amazones d'Avignon, was dissatisfied with the court's sentencing, saying that some of the convicts would be able to "spend Christmas with their families."

Dominique Pelicot was found guilty on the charges of drugging his wife for nearly 10 years and arranging for other men to rape her while she was unconscious. Dominique allegedly filmed these crimes and kept them on his laptop. Despite the mass protest and dissatisfaction with the ruling, Gisele said she respected the court's decision.
