Not enough! When I see how these men acted, I wish Europe could have a collective vote on capital punishment. Since the 1969s, crimes have become far more appalling than we could have imagined.

Capital punishment doesn't work. And results in the murder of innocent people. The justice system must be just.

What happens to these scum when they leave the safety of comfy prison is a different matter ...

Only 5 years, omg. Will he even serve the whole term?

Sentence sounds very light. Is there such a thing as a "rape-light" offence?

With luck the Grim Reaper will have called for him before his sentence is over.

If they made a movie out of this Pelicot case, no one would watch it. This story is so disturbingly horrendous, it defies decency and should be buried along with the perpetrators behind lock & key.

No - horrendous as it is, it should not be buried and forgotten. It happened, and if change does not take place, not least in men's attitudes, it could happen again.

He’s got off far too lightly there
Presumably based on his age

I have been against the death penalty my whole life. But for a case like this, where there isn't an atom of doubt over guilt, part of me would like to see it applied for true monsters. Slippery slope I know. But is 20 years true justice? Not sure it is.....

I agree. But hold the line. No reason why they can't just be given proper prison time. In general population. No special treatment for rapists.
