Wow! She is a strong woman! Braving the publicity to make others aware of drugs being a huge problem with date rape!

Affaire Pélicot : ce que les enfants savaient de leur père, suspecté de dizaines de viols organisés

Have translated a snippet:



The three children are absolutely lost, according to their lawyer. “Who is this man who brought them up?” “Whose children are they?” “What are their childhood memories worth?” “Their birthdays, holidays?” A whole lifetime, which at the age of 40, 45 and 50 has been shattered.

According to their mother’s lawyers, they realise that they did not know anything about him. “Are they really the children of a monster? Are they the children of a psycopath? With the trial, they will have to face the person they thought to be “the perfect father and husband.”

Despite the short absences of their mother during some family gatherings, the children have stated that they did not suspect anything and that their father was never seen to be violent or to have any strange behaviour. “My brothers and I were very close to our father. It is unbelievable!” Caroline told Paris Match. Caroline has since found photos of herself in underwear on her father´s computer.

This is devastating. I can't imagine having to process the fact that the man you've known as your father for so long is a monster.

Agree 100% - incredibly strong and courageous.
Is a very disturbing case to say the least.
Such a betrayal of their vows and their life together. How anyone could do that another living being is horrific but to do so to their spouse of over 50 years is sickening and alarming.
Hoping Gisele Pelicot finds peace, comfort and healing in the months and years ahead, and I hope she knows how many people stand beside her as she faces this, whether they are family, friends or strangers, she is not alone x

I can't fathom what it must be like for them.

I suspect he may have preyed not just on his children but their friends as well.

And, as has come out, on his grandchildren.

Paraphilias escalate over time and the boundary violations must become more extreme. Incredibly disturbing case. MOOO.

Faces a max of 20 years?? Am I reading that correctly?

Should be life without parole. 20 years isn't even close to enough.
