PARIS — The founder of the website used by Dominique Pelicot to invite dozens of men to rape his wife after he’d drugged her was indicted Thursday in France on myriad charges, including some related to that case.

If found guilty, he faces up to 10 years in prison and a fine of up to 7.5 million euros, or about $7.7 million.

The site’s founder, Isaac Steidl, 44, was released from jail Thursday. The investigating judge’s office said he was placed under “judicial supervision,” had to pay a bail of 100,000 euros and was barred from leaving France.

The website he created in 2003, called coco.fr, became notorious in France during the trial of Pelicot and 50 other men, who were all found guilty last month, mostly for raping Pelicot’s now ex-wife, Gisèle, while she was heavily sedated.

One of the charges against Steidl that is related to the Pelicot case is administering an online platform to enable an illicit transaction by an organized gang. Among the other charges he faces are complicity in drug trafficking, complicity in the possession and distribution of child pornography, aggravated pimping and aggravated money laundering.

Steidl “firmly denies the accusations made against him and undertakes to cooperate fully to demonstrate his lack of responsibility for the alleged offenses,” his lawyer, Julien Zanatta, told Agence France-Presse.

Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau said in a statement that the website was implicated in more than 23,000 cases in France alone from 2021 to 2024, involving 480 alleged victims. The cases included allegations of sexual abuse of children, pimping, prostitution, rape, drug trafficking, scams and homicides, police and prosecutors said in a statement.
