French man accused of drugging and having his wife raped by at least 50 strangers, over 10 years

He was probably charging the men too.

He should be raped by 50 strangers - see how he likes it in prison.

Why are the French like this? Always doing THE MOST.

He had naked photos of his daughter too. Link in next post.

His wife didn’t suspect something was wrong when she kept passing out?

What's the French Justice System like? Will this woman's husband and the rapists get locked up for a good amount of time or will they be allowed to shed a few crocodile tears and be let off with a plea deal?

[quote]His wife didn’t suspect something was wrong when she kept passing out?

He drugged her food and drink at dinner, so not too far from bedtime. She did experience memory loss which made her worry about early-onset dementia.

Guillotine him.

"- He was arrested after a security guard caught him filming up the skirts of women at a supermarket - Police found a file labelled “abuses” on a USB drive with 20,000 images and films of his wife being raped almost 100 times - He obtained 450 sleeping pills in 1 year alone…

- He is also accused of the rape and murder of a 23 year old real estate agent in 1991 - Another estate agent, 19, was attacked in similar circumstances but escaped after fighting back. Police said DNA extracted from blood at the scene matched his profile.

As a result of the effects of the drugs, after several hospital visits, she spent years believing she had a strange illness that no one could put a finger on. At some point, her children and other relatives suspected she had Alzheimer’s disease.

Update: his daughter stormed out of court today when she learnt that her father also kept nonconsensual nude photos of her. She believes that he might have also raped or invited men to rape her because in the photos she is wearing someone else’s underwear..."

Mon Führer!

Damn, at R10!!!!

That's just evil.

I understand one sick maniac but finding 50 guys to come rape a 70 yo wife who's passed out? How many freaks are there in this town?

The family “chamber of horrors”, as Caroline Darian puts it, was exposed, quite out of the blue, on Monday November 2 2020. It was the middle of the Covid crisis in France, and Darian had just taken her six-year-old son back to school wearing an obligatory facemask. Her father, Dominique Pélicot, sent his grandson a reassuring message online: “My poor boy. Be brave. Love, Grandpa.” But then, only a couple of hours later, the phone rang. It was Darian’s mother: “Your father is going to jail”.

And just like that, what Darian called her boring but successful world – “husband, son, home, job I loved” – was turned upside down. Her father was accused of drugging Darian’s mother and his wife of 50 years – the woman he had met as sweethearts when they were both 18 – and inviting dozens of men to rape her over at least a decade.

Suddenly, the Pélicot family was the epicentre of a profoundly disturbing case that, now it has come to court, is outraging France – and the world beyond. As Darian was to write later: “You don’t know the value of boring until you’ve lost it.” Instead she was left with a “family cataclysm”.

The details of that 2020 telephone call that changed everything were, as Darian explained in her memoir, And I Stopped Calling You Daddy, almost too grim to take in. The book changes some names [Dominique becomes Louis for example] but explains how the case unfolded, how her mother – in real life Gisèle Pélicot – called that day in 2020 from her home in the small town of Mazan, 20 miles north-east of Avignon, in the south of France, to reveal that her husband, then 67, had been caught red-handed filming up the skirts of three women in a supermarket and locked up for 48 hours. In the meantime, police had seized his phone, camcorder and computer.

There they found images that allegedly showed Gisèle, then also 67, asleep, drugged and being raped. After trawling through some 20,000 digital images, police counted 92 rapes committed by 72 men, of whom 51 were formally identified.

“Caro, it’s true,” Gisèle had told her stunned daughter. “I had to look at some of the photos at the police station. I thought my heart would stop beating.” Until then, neither woman had had the faintest idea. It turned out that Dominique had been administering date rape drugs to incapacitate his wife. And allegedly not just her.

Yesterday Caroline Darian broke down as the court heard that among her father’s trove of photos were pictures of his daughter as a grown woman, front and back, in her underwear, which he had compared to similar images of his wife and shared with others.

When Caroline called her two brothers, they were equally stunned. But then one remembered the last supper he had spent with his parents in the summer holidays of 2018. “Only a few minutes after sitting down Maman was swaying in her chair as though she was drunk,” he is quoted as saying. “Suddenly her whole body was drained of energy, like a rag doll.”

“It happens. It’s better if I take her to bed,” his father had said at the time. But Darian adds: “In reality the cocktail of drugs, poured into her glass of rosé, were beginning to take effect.”

Immediately after being notified of their father’s actions four years ago, the three siblings sped southwards to their mother’s aid. In Avignon, they met the police team leading the investigation. Officers explained that their father had not just allowed, but recruited dozens of men on web forums to rape their mother “for no financial gain”.

“Ultimate perversity,” Caroline writes. “Father, who always had money problems, didn’t profit from Maman. He did it purely for his pleasure.” The drugs were hidden – in the garage, in his walking shoes, in a sports sock. Had he shown any remorse after confessing? “No. Your father simply thanked me for relieving him of a burden,” the officer replied.

Photos revealed the extent of the horror. Caroline’s father had apparently led a double life, consuming Viagra, testing himself for HIV; she writes that sometimes he forbade those he invited to rape his wife from wearing a condom. In one photo Caroline’s mother appears naked, on her stomach, with a man behind her. “The other photos are all similar – except with different men,” she recounts. As Caroline and her brothers left the police station, she turned to the officer in charge. “Tell my father I’ll never forgive him and he’s ruined our lives.”

But there was more to come. Shortly after leaving the police station, she was summoned back. The police needed to check two pictures with her. They were of a young woman, sleeping on her left side, wearing beige knickers, in bed. “Zoomed in on her bottom”. Only when the police pointed out a birthmark was Caroline able to identify herself. “Normally I’m a light sleeper. So I had been drugged too.” It turned out that the second photo had been taken in her own home. “I was his second prey.”

That night in November 2020, the three siblings had to return to their parents’ home with their mother to clear it out. “Coming back into the house, with his smell, was unbearable.” On her father’s desk was visible the empty space where his confiscated computer had sat.

By the end of the week, her mother had gone to live with one of her brothers and Caroline, suffering a breakdown, was briefly confined to psychiatric care. According to her book, the last time her mother had been raped was just two weeks previously, on October 22. Back at home, knowing that details of the case were already emerging, she was forced to attempt to explain the sordid situation to her young son as best she could.

The family began to fracture. An unconscious victim, with no memory of the abuse, Caroline’s mother, the book recounts, found herself instinctively sympathising with her husband. “He’s not happy where he is, you know. He’s suffering,” she told her astonished daughter. It left Caroline in despair: “Because of my father, now I’m losing my mother too…”

From prison, Caroline says, her father managed to get a letter to her mother. “I know I’m here because of what I’ve done to the love of my life, to my family, my friends,” it said. Caroline describes it as the missive of an arch-manipulator. “I’m not surprised. He’s trying to divide us.”

As the family lawyer began to receive evidence in the months that followed, alleged details began to emerge of how her father had boasted online of the power of the drugs and how he had mastered dosage, quoting one message: “Last time I didn’t do enough; this time, no problem, we can go for it.” His approach was, according to his daughter, always the same: first he would reach out to potential abusers on an internet chatroom, then ask those selected if, like him, they were into “the rape method” before posting pictures of his wife on a private forum called “without their knowledge”.

“He dressed her like a low-rent prostitute,” noted his appalled daughter. He did not have to go far to find willing participants. Most of those who responded lived close by. Finally, he would draw a map of how to get to the house, photograph it, and send it to those he had selected, guiding them on their final approach by text message. So as not to alert the neighbours, cars had to be parked at a nearby gym. Every detail was considered. No one could wear perfume or smoke, so as to leave no trace of their presence. Mobile phones had to be left in cars, to avoid the risk of them ringing and waking the victim. They even had to wash their hands in warm water so as not to shock his slumbering wife with cold fingers. After undressing in the kitchen, abusers were advised to keep their clothes handy in case they had to leave in a hurry. Defendants in the trial were aged from 21 to 68 at the time of the alleged rapes. They include a fireman, lorry driver, municipal councillor, IT worker in a bank, prison guard, nurse and a journalist.

When asked if he was sexually attracted to his daughter, he said no. “She’s not my type. She’s much younger than I’m used to.” Finally: “I never touched my daughter.”

As the months passed, and the current trial approached, Caroline attempted to rationalise what had happened to her family, and how each member was coping. “My mother is sunny, funny and dynamic,” she notes. And strong. “Even the day when she learned that one of her rapists had HIV, she didn’t collapse.” A subsequent HIV test proved negative. In September 2022, Caroline set up a campaign group to raise awareness of the use of drugs in rape and sexual violence. That campaign is one reason they have waived anonymity at today’s trial. “There is still so much to do,” she notes.

Wow, the brother is hot!

That story at R14-R16 is absolutely horrific.

He really must have hated his wife and kids, to do something like that to the whole family.

He didn't hate all of them; just the wife and daughter. He left his sons and grandson alone.

[quote] He didn't hate all of them; just the wife and daughter. He left his sons and grandson alone.

Wrong.

This was violence against a mother, a grandmother, and a sister.

What the father did, affected the whole family.

If I were the son, I would be in a rage against my father.

Didn’t get vagina hurt for no reason sometimes? How did she not know?

I just thought this would be a great place to remind everyone about this weekend’s Lauren Boebert Downhome Barbecue Fundraiser. Don’t forget a check and a chair and your Family Values!

[quote]Didn’t get vagina hurt for no reason sometimes?

Is r21 Melania?

I hope they release the names of the men involved - they KNEW what they were doing because of all the steps they took to not wake her up.

I read about this in "The New York Times." It is horrific to think that this man did this to his wife, let alone any other woman. What is even harder to believe is not one of those 50 men thought something was wrong about this. Many said they believed she consented because her husband gave his consent. Other believed she pretended to be unconscious!

R25 - those men are lying - because the husband had them not wear cologne, smoke cigarettes, and even had to wash and warm up their hands before touching her so as to not wake her up.

You can tell if someone is play acting unconscious or if they are passed out.

Besides - you need to have that person's consent before you fuck them - not their partner's supposed consent. Seems like an easy case for rape charges.

Was it mentioned if the husband collected money from the men, or did he just do it for some sick, sexual gratification?

He didn't collect any money from the men.

I find it hard to believe that no one pieced it together over ten years? Someone ALWAYS knows something.

R28 - so he says. No way to track cash. They said they were having money issues. I can't believe this was some freebie for his own pleasure only.

Oh and I'm sure these pics and videos have made their way around the dark web.

I highly doubt he paid any of the men, but he may have supplied drugs.

One expects this kind of thing from Russians, but French? Mon dieu! What would Ina Garten say? She adores the French!

Men will fuck anything.

R32 - no - the idea is that men paid for these services like a prostitute - not that the husband paid the men. As if.

Mobile phones had to be left in cars, to avoid the risk of them ringing and waking the victim.

A ringing phone might wake her, but GETTING RAPED REPEATEDLY would not? Something fishy here. How can photos show someone is passed out and drugged?

Gisele was interviewed outside of court.

Her lawyer is cute.

R36, he said to keep the phones from ringing but it’s most likely that he didn’t want cell phone and WiFi pings proving strangers had been in his house. He also Nantes to make sure that any recordings, video or audio, were his and under his control.

This guy’s behavior is obviously compulsive. Not excusing his behavior, but this type of depravity has to be the result of a mental illness. The fact that what he did to the wife wasn’t enough and he had to move to the daughter and become so careless that he was taking up-skirt photos of strangers in public says that this wasn’t a cold, calculated pattern of behavior but an addiction he couldn’t control. His statement to the police that he was just glad they’d removed this burden from him, or something to that effect, says he knew it was wrong, didn’t want to do it, but had to do it regardless of moral and self-preservation concerns.

The family will be forever scarred, but I admire the daughter’s commitment to publicly facing the situation. The facts are known, but closing down and dealing with it privately just compounds the problem. Sunlight is the best cure for this type of secret.

I bet the men weren't drop dead gorgeous and young either, probably the dirty old men down the street, who would fuck an old drugged up woman.

Is r38 in the employ of the defense?

R39 - they said there were all types - construction guys, IT workers, bank executive - so it was NOT dirty old men. It was dirty men of all ages and backgrounds.

R40 - agreed, R38 seems very dismissive and failing to grasp the scope of these crimes.

R41, I don’t understand your criticism. I’m not dismissing what he did, rather I addressed the depravity in my first thoughts.

Along with acknowledging and condemning horrific acts such as this man’s crimes, a rational mind can also try to understand the causes and influences.

It does no one any good to label something simply evil and locking it away forever like a boogie man you’re afraid to confront. Trying to understand why things like this happen , and maybe if mental disease is involved, can only help keeping it from happening again.

[quote]what he did to the wife wasn’t enough and he had to move to the daughter and become so careless that he was taking up-skirt photos of strangers in public

He may have escalated even more than that, he's a suspect in a murder.

Wish I had thought of this!

[quote]Trying to understand why things like this happen , and maybe if mental disease is involved, can only help keeping it from happening again.[/quote]

But when it involves so many people, I can't see how it all comes down to mental disease versus just general depravity. A similar thing happened in Singapore in 2010 where a woman discovered her husband had been drugging her and plotted with 7 men from a wife swapping site to have sex with her while she was passed out. He was even secretly livestreaming when he had sex with her to the group. The film "Women Talking" was inspired by the Bolivian Mennonite rapes where women in the community were repeatedly gassed by the men of the community and raped.

R46, while the Mennonite story you mention is probably based more on cultural norms in their isolated community, I find it entirely plausible that the Singapore and French instances are based on mental disease. With the power of the internet to unite people through shared interests, it can just as easily connect people with personality disorders that compliment each other’s.

I think anyone would agree that pedophilia is a mental disease, and they have been greatly helped in satisfying their warped desires by being able to network anonymously with others with the same disorder.

R46 ultra conservative community?????? You just can’t make this stuff up

Stop it with this mental disease arm-chair diagnosis bullshit. Call it what it is - evil, predatory rape of a close family member.

Some people are just monsters - he knew what he was doing and kept it up for 10 years. No statements of remorse or guilt.

He would have KEPT doing it if the files weren't found on his computer. I don't want to hear about compulsion and mental disease, blah, blah, blah. It's like you're trying to stir up sympathy for the guy.

When the cops in Canada were looking into the Toronto gay village killings they discovered a guy cosplaying a cannibal on a chat site with a bunch of other depraved idiots. They got him for pedophilia. The reason I am bringing this up is that as weird as a fetish is, there are hundreds more just the same because people are sick and twist things into some sexual aberration.

[quote] One expects this kind of thing from Russians, but French? Mon dieu!

The French are the biggest perverts on the planet. They outdo Even the Germans, who at least bathe and do not assault olfactory senses on public transport with their unwashed pits and hips and teeth.

Remember, these people produced child murderer Bluebeard and have bodies of resting Algerian cadavers stashed in the Seine to this very day, which they forced Olympic competitors to swim amongst.

Only 50?

That’s just a weekend on Fire Island.

Consent being the HUGE difference

....

Hey, do you want to risk arrest for having sex with an inanimate sevent-year-old without her consent?

Is it really that tough on the straight world?

51 men are facing charges of raping her.

R49, your way is verging into the pulpit, and seeing what the pulpit has done to this world, I’ll put my money on the armchair.

I hope all these men fry.

A defense lawyer in this case filmed herself singing "Wake Me up Before You Go-Go" and put it on social media. During the trial.

I don't know anything about ethical requirements for attorneys in France but they surely can't allow this?

^ she reminds me of the bitch defending Johnny Depp who would spray his cologne in the courthouse ladies room before Amber Heard would use it.

That's a new one.

[quote] Hey, do you want to risk arrest for having sex with an inanimate sevent-year-old without her consent?

It was also a health risk to them, since she was infected with so many STDs during this period.
