Are we supposed to pity him?
Hes a monster!!!!!
What a brave woman!
How does he feel sick? It's his wife who has been drugged and graped for years? Not him!
Did his Christian faith encourage him to do this or was it liberalism?
I'm sure that a lot of these men genuinely thought that because they had the husband's permission they didn't need her consent.
This is so sickening how could a husband betray his wife in this horrific way!?! I'm just glad she is alive to stare down each of these monsters and watch justice being served!
He should be forced to attend, didn't feel sick when he was hurting Gisele. 20 yrs is a joke for what he did. Thank you to Gisele for making this trial public in order to bring awareness to the R@pe culture and expose these monsters. Stephanie Soo introduced this trial to me, she did a deep dive on it.
"Cant handle a full day of court"
But he could handle years of drugging his wife and letting men rape her while filming it…?
This is embarrassing for France. Good job France.
This man violated his wife the most but also took sexual photos of his own daughter and grandchildren as well as his daughter in laws. And hes been nothing but entitled since expecting people to care about his wellbeing and blaming her. I dont care about his damn health he didn't care about hers
Almost all the men are married with kids…let that sink in..what if someone did this to their kids or wife
These horrors were brought to light (and law) because the police officers responded to an earnest call, and they took it SERIOUSLY.
Put him in jail no more trial. Life in in prison!
Some people always try to blame the victim; she should have not been out with men she didn't know, etc. This is a prime example that there is absolutely nowhere that a woman is completely safe; not even at home with her husband.
Are we supposed to feel sorry for that wicked man.
you know what else is crazy in this case ? One man puts an ad online to come SA his wife, and almost 100 men show up.
He shouldn't be allowed to sit ever again
Gisele Pélicot is a HERO.
No perperator can be exonerated.
Child abuse is the foundational and transmitting force of this sick cruel organised behaviour.
Groups abuse children including within families.
Children get drugged too.
If a grown adults are rendered unconscious, imagine that applied to children !
Within families (the ultimate betrayal) children learn to be harmed and to harm others, they learn no choice to do this.
Some grow up 'addicted' and normalised in these sick groups..subculture, 'subconscious' and therefore more easily hidden groups.
These groups (and some 'leaders' amongst them in particular) lure and force people in,
to hurt people and maintain secrecy, especially 'unconscious' children and vulnerable adults are targeted.
Drugs are culturally used to render victims, unconscious, pliable and amnesic.
Children must be heard ..
Hair follicle testing is more effective over time to detect these drugs.
There are women noticing signs of sexual abuse in their children, concerned and getting help for their children (Amanda Baldwin in the UK) drug tests for their children, then perpetrators with 'connections' organise for loss of evidence and all manner of cover up.
Children remember being injected, given drinks etc.
Thanks to all who are uncovering this, waking up and stopping this.
GISELE Pélicot is a HERO.
Well they can’t say what were you wearing Why were you out so late by yourself were you drinking were you at a bar. Nope, it’s all on those sick perverted men they are to blame
Doctors usually brush off older women telling them to calm down. Many older women would agree with this
Anne Cecile was terrible get someone better than her to talk about she seemed bored
If he is so sick – what about her – she is really abused, and he is not there to explain himself – Why do they not have a Zoom on him to speak – he was not sick the other day when he was looking up girl's skirts in the shops.
Men also fake illness to avoid the penalty of being asked about their bad behaviours.
Those people that do not feel that it is a bad thing – especially men – what if that sort of thing was done to them against their will. They would not like being the target of rape – and forced to do things they do not want done to them. They have no empathy for women and their feelings – they are put into terrible situations.
