A French court sentenced former banker Guillaume Bucci to 25 years in prison for torturing and sexually abusing his ex-partner, Laetitia R, over seven years. She testified that Bucci forced her into sexual encounters with at least 487 men, including friends and strangers, and subjected her to violence and psychological control.
