French Retiree Faces Trial for Decade-Long Abuse of Drugged Wife
Dominique Pélicot, accused of enlisting strangers to rape his unconscious wife, is described by his daughter as one of the worst sexual criminals in recent history.
- Pélicot admitted to drugging his wife and inviting dozens of men to rape her over nearly ten years.
- The abuse came to light when Pélicot was caught filming up women's skirts in a supermarket.
- Their daughter, Caroline Darian, testified she may also have been drugged and photographed without her knowledge.
- Gisèle Pélicot, the victim, waived her right to anonymity to raise awareness about drug-facilitated sexual abuse.
- The trial includes 51 men accused of participating in the rapes, facing up to 20 years in prison if convicted.
