After months of testimony, verdicts are expected as soon as this
week in a rape trial that has both horrified and captivated the
people of France.

Catherine Porter, who has covered the trial, discusses the woman
at the center of the case and how, with a single decision, she
has turned the power dynamics of the #MeToo era on their head.

Guest: Catherine Porter, an international correspondent for The
New York Times based in Paris.

Background reading:

France’s horrifying rape trial has a feminist hero.

Dominique Pelicot says he invited men to rape his wife, whom
he had drugged. The French media call them “Mr. Every Man”
because they come from such ordinary backgrounds.
