"Dominique Pelicot had been summoned by police for questioning after a supermarket security guard caught him secretly filming up women's skirts. Gisele Pelicot had accompanied him to the police station and was completely unprepared for the bombshell delivered by the officer, Laurent Perret. He said: I am going to show you photos and videos that are not going to please you. That's you in this photo."
"Pelicot said she didn't believe the inert woman lying on the bed was her. I didn't recognise the individuals. Nor this woman. Her cheek was so flabby. Her mouth so limp. She was a rag doll, she writes in the book. My brain stopped working in the office of Deputy Police Sergeant Perret. Pelicot became known internationally last year when she waived her right to anonymity in the trial that shocked the world."
"She told of her world falling apart on 2 November 2020 when she was first told her then husband had been drugging and raping her and inviting strangers to rape her, in extracts in Le Monde from the French-language version of the book that will be published simultaneously across the world in 22 languages next week. Dominique Pelicot had been summoned by police for questioning after a supermarket security guard caught him secretly filming up women's skirts."
On 2 November 2020 police informed Gisele Pelicot that her husband Dominique had been drugging and raping her and inviting strangers to rape her. Police showed photos and videos of an inert woman that Pelicot initially did not recognise, describing the woman as having a flabby cheek and a limp mouth and feeling like a rag doll. Dominique crushed sleeping tablets and anti-anxiety medication into food and drinks for almost a decade and invited dozens of men to rape her in Mazan, south‑east France. Dominique was summoned after a supermarket guard caught him secretly filming up women's skirts. Pelicot waived anonymity and became widely known during the trial.
