Austrian Woman's Death Sparks Investigation Into Suspected Rape Network, Tagged Pelicot 2.0
A 40-year-old Austrian woman died from injuries after her husband allegedly sexually abused her while she was heavily intoxicated; prosecutors say investigators are examining whether a wider 'rape network' existed, with a second 51-year-old man in custody who reportedly confessed, and the husband under investigation for possible murder. Local media have dubbed the case 'Pelicot 2.0.' The autopsy has been ordered and the investigation continues, with authorities saying no money is believed to have exchanged hands.
