Dominique Pelicot has been found guilty of drugging his ex-wife, Gisèle, raping her and inviting dozens of men to also abuse her over nearly a decade, along with other charges.
Pelicot had admitted the charges against him.
The 72-year-old was on trial with 50 other men, the majority of whom denied charges of rape.
Most of the 50 come from towns and villages in a 50km (30 mile) radius of the Pelicots’ own village of Mazan.
Among them are firefighters, lorry drivers, soldiers, security guards, a journalist and a DJ.
Here is a list of the men convicted. This is a breaking news story that will be updated in real-time. The judge has yet to read out sentences for any of the defendants.
