    For context:

    The judge last month banned the broadcasting of such footage to the public and press on the grounds that the images were “shocking and indecent”.

    However, he decided to lift the restrictions following calls from Ms Pelicot’s lawyers for the trial to be open to the public.

    “If these same hearings, through their publicity, help prevent other women from having to go through this, then she will find meaning in her suffering,” one of Ms Pelicot’s lawyers, Stéphane Babonneau, said.
