"Gisele Pelicot has said she needs to visit prison to look her abusive ex-husband straight in the eye after his conviction for drugging her and inviting dozens of men to rape her in a case that shocked France and the rest of the world. Pelicot, 73, said she needed answers from Dominique Pelicot over the potential abuse of their daughter and the case of an estate agent who was raped and murdered in 1991, which he is under investigation for."
"There are thought to have been at least 70 perpetrators but police have not been able to identify them all. Questions also remain over whether the couple's daughter, Caroline Darian, was also abused by Dominique, something that caused a rift when Darian accused her mother of not believing her when police discovered two photos of her unconscious and wearing underwear she did not recognise."
Gisele Pelicot plans to visit prison to confront her ex-husband, Dominique Pelicot, after his conviction for drugging her and inviting dozens of men to rape and sexually assault her. Dominique Pelicot was jailed for 20 years in December 2024; prosecutors convicted him alongside about 50 other men and investigators believe at least 70 perpetrators were involved, though many remain unidentified. Questions persist about whether the couple's daughter, Caroline Darian, was also abused after police found two photos of her unconscious and wearing underwear she did not recognise. The revelations fractured the family, but Pelicot is rebuilding daily contact with her daughter and hopes for answers and possible remorse.
