Gisele Pelicot described how discovering images of her being raped orchestrated by her husband shattered her life, saying, "My world fell apart, everything I had built up with Mr Pelicot collapsed." Her testimony highlighted the betrayal and horror she faced after years of abuse that she did not initially recognize when confronted with the evidence.
In her court testimony, Gisele stated, "These are rape scenes, I'm inert, asleep and they're raping me. Rape is not the right word, it is barbarism." This underscores the intensity and brutality of her experience, emphasizing the need for terminology that properly reflects the violence of her ordeal.
With regard to her husband's actions, Gisele noted that initially, she didn't recognize herself in the photographs, indicating the extent of psychological manipulation and trauma she endured. Recollecting the moment she returned to the police station, she expressed her fear and disbelief over the evidence found on her husband's devices.
