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.

 

[lonetraveler]

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

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

 

[Okibumm]

So this is my first time ever submitting a post/thread I am not sure if I am doing this correctly so if not please kindly explain to me the proper way to go about this next time.....

But i just happened to scroll on to this article and could not believe what I was reading, a husband incapacitated his wife then allowed over 50 men in the course of 10 years to violate her. Unbelievable

"Courage of the wife​

'drugged by her husband and raped by fifty men'.​

This trial –
which is expected to last until Christmas –
is a French legal landmark.

With 51 men,
including Pelicot, all accused of aggravated rape, officials at Vaucluse departmental criminal court say it is the biggest number of defendants to have been tried together in recent years,
certainly in their region
and possibly anywhere in France.

Indeed,
so many had to be shoehorned into the courtroom yesterday that, while 18 of them –
already in custody –
were crammed into a Perspex-screened dock,
a further 32,
who are free on bail,
were seated in the well of the court
(one failed to appear, and an arrest warrant has been issued)."

Courage of wife 'drugged by her husband and raped by fifty men'

As British tourists marvelled yesterday at the holy sites in Avignon, I sat in a courtroom beside the historic ramparts and watched an ageing woman being dragged through the bowels of hell.

Confessing...just disgusting man

 

[GoBuckeyes]

How low and disgusting!!! How can he say he "still loves" her? He couldn't truly love her and do that to her! He is only thinking of himself and nothing of her! Giving her STD's along with now nightmares! I cannot imagine the betrayal she must feel.

20 years is a pathetic sentence!

 

[GoBuckeyes]

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.

His crimes are so devious, a new term should be coined for him. moo

 

[whiterhino]

Not a man, not a father or a husband. An abomination. 20 years at that age, he just might die in prison. JMO.

Not a man, not a father or a husband. An abomination. 20 years at that age, he just might die in prison. JMO.

Plus he’s got other trials for murder to face.

He’s not going anywhere but prison. Ever.

 

[airportwoman]

Surprised there hasn't been more to this case

As the new posts reveal, there is.

This guy almost sounds like a variation of BTK, without the known series of murders (so far, anyway).

I just read the article. They have closed the case, and the 22 unidentified men will never be brought to justice!

Dominique Pélicot - French man who ‘drugged wife of 50 YEARS nightly so 51 men could rape her’ goes on trial
Protesters on Monday disrupted the start of a trial of a French pensioner accused of recruiting more than 50 of strangers online to rape his wife in their Provence home after he drugged her into unconsciousness.
In a case that has appalled France, the main suspect Dominique Pélicot, a 71-year-old former employee at France’s power utility EDF, stood in the dock alongside 50 other men in the southern city of Avignon.

They are accused of raping his wife who, according to her lawyers, was so heavily sedated that she was not aware of the abuse at the couple’s comfortable house with a swimming pool in the village of Mazan near Carpentras.

“He disgusts me, I feel dirty, soiled, betrayed. It’s a tsunami, I’ve been hit by a high-speed train’, she told the judge when the facts were revealed.

Before the trial began, members of two feminist groups, ‘Les Amazones d’Avignon’ and ‘Osez le féminisme 84’, demonstrated outside the courthouse. Dressed in black, they chanted ‘Rapists, we see you, victims, we believe you’.

The wife, who is in the process of divorcing Pélicot, arrived in court in dark glasses and with the couple’s three children, a son and two daughters.

Pélicot, who is pleading guilty, admitted to investigators that he gave his wife powerful tranquilisers, especially Temesta, an anxiety-reducing drug.

very brave victim
I hope she can somehow heal from this

 

[GoBuckeyes]

A low sentence can set a precedence for future cases; that’s why it cannot be approx. 20 years.

He is an older guy but the next one might be 35 and want the same sentence.

The article stated the max he could get is 20 years, and that's CRAZY! IMOO

he victimized his grandchildren too?
