Isaac Steidl, the founder and manager of the Coco.fr website and an Italian national, was charged with a number of offences, including the administration of an online platform to facilitate an illegal transaction by an organised gang, after his arrest on Tuesday.
The website was used by Dominique Pelicot to recruit strangers to rape his heavily-sedated wife Gisele Pelicot over a decade. Dominique Pelicot was sentenced to 20 years in jail after a trial that turned Gisele Pelicot into a feminist icon.
