France: Unimaginable statement from the husband who drugged and raped his wife with dozens of men – “He cheated on me”, he told the court

The evil husband who drugged and filmed his wife from dozens of unknown men, attempted to cover his crimes by accusing her of “cheating him”, as he said yesterday (03.09.2024) during the hearing of the case in . The creepy story of 71-year-old Gisele Pelicot, who was a victim of the sick sexual appetites of both her husband Dominique Pelicot, and at least 72 strangers, for 9 years, without knowing it, has pinned the society of France and not only. When Gisele Pelicot complained to her husband that she needed treatment for an unexplained sexual illness, she accused her of cheating on him, during the hours that he was riding a bike or bowling, writes the daily mail which closely monitors the severe trial. The 71-year-old, ignored the grim truth: that her gynecological problem was the result of her serial abuse, as as it was later revealed, Pelicot was sedating her into her food. The retired man’s attempt, working at the electricity company, to present his wife as a sex maniac in their seemingly “perfect” marriage, emerged when Judge Roger Arata described the prosecution’s case. Along with 50 men from all walks of life, whom he “commanded” through a website for voyeurism and swingers, Pelicot, also 71, is charged with co-op rape. Depuis ce lundi matin, Dominique P., 71 ans, est jugé devant la court criminelle du Vaucluse aux côtés de 50 autres accusés. Le septuagénaire est accusé d’avoir drogueé sa femme et recruté des hommes pour la violer. La Victime, Gisèle P., a par ailleurs accepté comme ses proches parties civiles d’être photographiées et filmées avant le début de l’audience. According to the indictment, the 71-year-old orchestrated the attacks on his wife from 2011 to 2020, which came to light when Pélicot was arrested in a supermarket while trying to photograph under women’s skirts. When police searched the chalet shared with Pelicot, in the beautiful village of Mazan, Provence, he found about 20,000 photos of his wife sexually abused by 72 unknown men. Pelicot, who often directed rapes, archived his films with labels such as “Her rapists”, “Badization” and “My slut”. He also noted the men’s names and details of the acts committed, allowing the police to locate 50 of them. However, 22 others could not be recognized and will never be brought to justice, as the case has now been closed. To make sure Pelicot was unconscious and had not consented to sex, as many of the arrested claimed, researchers were forced to confront her with sick videos. Asked at a pre-trial hearing how he reacted when he learned that he had been humiliated by the alleged respectable family man with whom he had had three children, he said: “It disgusts me. I feel dirty, desecrated, betrayed. It was a tsunami. I was hit by a high-speed train.” Her shock caused a nervous breakdown and was said to have attempted suicide several times. His daughter’s naked photograph Determined to expose her rapists and highlight their crimes under the influence of drugs, she courageously resigned from her right to conduct the closed-door trial and remain anonymous. The presiding judge Roger Arata announced that Gisele Pelicot would satisfy her desire for “full publicity” until the end of the trial. Yesterday, the court heard horribly that Pelicot was drugging and taking pictures even of his daughter. Researchers appear to have uncovered an envelope with the indication “My daughter naked”, in which they found a photo of Caroline Darian, now middle-aged mother, sleeping in a bed. She seemed to be dressed in some of her mother’s clothes, but she was partly naked. The photo had been taken at the family home in Villiers-sur-Marne, near Paris, before 2013, when Pelicot and his wife retired and moved to Provence. As the judge referred to this incident, Mrs. Darian – who has since written memoirs entitled I No Longer Call Him Papa- was overwhelmed by emotion and had to help her out of the courtroom. Although her father has admitted that he had “uncontrolled sexual impulses” and that he drugged his wife to rape her, his lawyer, Beatrice Zavarro, says he will deny that he raped his daughter. One of the men accused of raping Mrs Pelicot is said to be escaping, but 49 are cornered in the modern courtroom of the court. While 14 of them plead guilty, Judge Arata said 35 deny the charges. The case, which scandalises France and is expected to last four months, will continue today with evidence from the detectives who conducted the investigation.
