Today Dominique Pelicot told the court “I am a rapist” and said the 50 men standing trial alongside him knew everything.

His now ex-wife, Gisele, has become a hero for many rape victims.

Mr Pelicot is also accused of drugging and abusing his daughter after photos of her were found on his laptop, a claim he has previously denied.

Warning, you may find some of the evidence in this report distressing.

  1. WHY dont they have her protected by not having her going through checks right next to them?? Why are they allowed ro wear anything but suits to the courtroom? Why arw they allowed to wear hoodies and cover faces?

  2. What I don't understand is how this woman can not have any strange feelings ,pain,marks, or loss of energy,vaginal diseases after she woke up? Since when in France a woman can not find a gynecologist? And the doctor wasn't able to see what happened? I don't believe it!

  3. How DIFFERENT would the wording be by the Reporters if it was the Husband was Raped by numerous women as arranged by the wife.

  4. In bed with the enemy 🥺😢🤦‍♀️I am happy this lady finally found clarity and justice, hope her daughters will help her throw this traumatic episode of her Life 👏🤗

  5. The men were between 26-74 year old and appeared to have normal lives. Fathers, husbands, nurses, engineers.
    At least 50 'normal' men from the neighbourhood…………..!😔

    Her marriage seemed healthy and she married him when she was 18. Nightmare! How many women are living a total lie still ?! How many men secretly hate women ?!

  6. Another recent case widely known but not in the Netherlands : A woman that was chopped into pieces by her husband/partner and then put in a blender. Why o why Dutch tv ?! It is important to show women how dangerous men can be and how they should be careful entering a relationship….!😡

  7. Všetko nechám presetrit buďte si isty!!!!🚨👸🏻💯👑👮🏻👶🏻🙍🏻😢💔🇸🇰

  8. She is so brave and strong. This woman is a true warrior. She will get all the justice she deserves ❤

  9. He was abused as a child, yada, yada, yada. A lot of ppl have had sh*tty childhoods. Is that ever an excusable reason to abuse someone else?

  10. Toto sa bude na novo hodnotit cez sudy Medzinarodne a okamžitě chcem slušný Proces!!!🌏💯🇩🇪🚨🖤💔😢👮🏻👸🏻🇪🇺🇸🇰😭👑🧓🏻

  11. Where are all the European Nazis crying about "migrant rape". When your own people do this to your women. Of course they will take foreign men as husbands, when you treat your women like this…. this is barbaric and disgusting.

  12. Wow, thank this woman for being so brave.. these DISGUSTING MEn and her x husband.. they should all have life time in jail, oh wow grown men saying we were manipulated by Mr P.. how absolutely disgusting and pathetic..

  13. I can't fathom this kind of bravery.
    Somehow, she turned this horrific crime into something else. I don't know how to describe how I feel, but I know "awe" and "inspired", come close – yet how can this trial instill that?
    She blows me away.

  14. There are survivors of childhood abuses who do not become abusers. My father was one of those survivors and he loved & protected his family, friends & others.

  15. This reminds me of a place in Kazakhstan they've dubbed "Sleepy Hollow". There were cases of a group of men falling asleep while they were fishing by the river bank, a man falling asleep while riding a motorbike, and numerous others. They were asleep for days. Is there a drug that has been aerosolized that can cause people to loose consciousness upon inhaling the drug?

  16. How many women who have sleep disorders, unexplainable fatigue, and memory loss are now thinking, "Am I a victim?" Did they sometimes feel that time just flew by? Why they can't account for lost time?

  17. He's a monster as are all the other men who did this to her. May they rot in jail for the rest of their lives.

  18. Gisele is the true definition of courage and righteous defiance in the face of horrific events and trauma. I am glad this is getting international coverage because gender based violence, drugging of victims, happens in every culture. And the perpetrators often seem “ordinary” or “normal.”

  19. 10 years …seeing medical assistance for memory problems and no blood test for drugs? hmmm? Good thing he was caught so she was saved.

  20. It’s becoming more common that couples are enjoying kinky fun sexual encounters. My take is that they both enjoyed the game but when he was found out doing up skirt photos he told the police it was all his idea to save his wife the embarrassment .He took the blame because he loved her

  21. I have such a problem with this case. A woman married for 50 years , has had 2 venereal diseases in the last 10 years and does not know that her husband is a pervert? Also, a man in his 70's taking pictures up woman's skirts? Just so many questions especially the fact that the french are not known as rapists.
