French Husband Drugged Wife Nightly So 72 Men Could SA Her Without Her Knowledge For 10 Yrs

[@moniqueanderson7127]

There's literally recorded video and audio in which he literally tells on himself. And yet, they don't think it's proper to show his fucking face?! It's disgusting.

@@BereniceAllanPoe she requested the waiver of anonymity because his crimes are so grotesque that she does not want him to be able to hide behind her shame. "This kind of access has only become possible because Gisèle has waived her right to anonymity. In a case of such magnitude it is an unusual decision, not least because it means thousands of videos of the alleged rapes filmed by Dominique Pelicot - in some cases surreptitiously - will eventually be played in open court.3 days ago" -BBC

As a french law major, all our professors told us to follow this case because it is one of the biggest case in french law history just because Gisele not only lived something horrible but said no for the closed hearing, the trial is public and all the process of it even when they played video evidences. She asked for it to be public so that the shame must shift.

[@ve3317]

The fact that one of the defense lawyer said « il y a vi0l et vi0l » meaning there is rap3 and rap3 that some of the guys didn’t know she didn,t consent because dominique was with them during the thing. He literally played with the mens rea to get his clients away but the thing is that with all the details they should have known. So even legally it’s a super important case for criminal law majors

[@ShawnCrigger]

making the case public is very brave of her, man what a sick dude. I cant believe someone would just pimp out their wife for free like this. I just don't understand what he got out of it, what the hell kinda sick fantasy is he living ugh. This is probably one of the weirdest and biggest cases in any country in decades.

This case is even more disgusting then Korea's Nth room cases only because the level of betrayal and I hope this case does change the way the law is worded to include consent. Both cases are some of the most vile cases Ive ever heard of and I'm not saying the Nth room is in anyway lesser Im just saying for the victim the level of betrayal has to be the worst thing about it, to think the man you've been with your entire life has been doing this

[@Jabberwocky869]

This case shows just how disregarded women are by medical professionals. All the neurological symptoms she was having over the years, the declining quality of life, signs of SA, STDs - and all her doctors, neurologists and gynecologists kept writing it off as stress? If it were one doctor, I would call it individual incompetency, but that many - that's just systemic medical misogyny. They all should be ashamed of themselves.

[@mamahelpus7607]

That's truly one of the worst parts (which there are too many in this story). Something could have been done far earlier if they would have just taken this woman seriously. My heart is absolutely broken for this family.

[@jesuusch]

'female hysteria' is always to blame in these doctor's minds and it's no wonder a lot of women want to become doctors or choose to only see female doctors because of how sexist and dismissive male doctors can be

[@thatsacutecat]

I agree! I got so angry hearing how they just ignored probably so many signs and did not try to even dig deeper than what kind of assumptions on her health they had. A gynocologist even missing that is crazy?! Would there not be signs? Definitely medical gaslighting, just calling these extremely worrying signs, symptoms of stress, is crazy. I know stress can do alot, but slurred speech, extreme memory loss, loss of motorfunction and so on. So many worrying signs and the doctors did not even try to do anything about it..

[@Spooky_Platypus]

Same in the US tho. Doctors won’t give us pain meds like they do men, they disregard our symptoms, they don’t allow us freedom of choice, they aren’t educated on women’s health, all drug trials were on men only into the modern age so we don’t even know how they actually work on women and they definitely don’t care about any reproductive health care!😢

[@Mercyfalls]

As an optimist I'd hope this is more of a sign that no medical professional could even comprehend such a horrible, vile & cruel crime as a possibility rather than a more "mundane" explaination like illness or stress. (And the STDs at least weren't known before this came out which is the only thing which could only have a sexual explanation) However the sad reality is that these aren't just possibilities but things that DO happen, they become fathomable and must be checked. Medical professionals can't be naively opptimistic, they need to be educated about cases like this.

[@SomeoneIusedtoknow-s1f]

Not only that but they never spoke to her. She didn't ever tell any one of them personally she was okay with it. If it's just a consensual kink then you have everyone's expressed consent. They never got hers. She's unconscious, if you "have sex with" an unconscious person, it's rape. Simple. End of. The only exception is when the person has full rights to rescind consent at any point whatsoever, and while fully with it and mentally stabl, under zero coercion, zero influence of any kind, has given explicit consent, and only consenting parties are involved, and consent is excruciatingly clear and not even remotely influenced by others, drugs, alcohol, or natural drugs. If someone's unconscious, you know what you're doing to them is wrong. Thinking men own women is a whole entire level of despicable that continuously gets more and more uncovered by society as time goes on. People still think that way. Men still talk about women that way to their buddies. And it's insane.

[@SmthAbout.Money.SmellsLikeLove]

Exactly. There is something extremely wrong, because no woman who goes to the doctor excessively because she's having so much discomfort and issues is going to dismiss any attempt by her doctor to get tested and find out what's impacting her so badly. Someone tried to argue that she'd have denied testing, when she literally said she requested help, diagnostics, and treatment countless times. There's also yearly tests where women have the inside of our vaginas and cervix examined, so they would have seen discharge, redness, etc. For her cervix to be that inflamed, something was wrong with her visits, because they'd have seen that too. STDs that give you an inflamed cervix aren't just going to randomly inflame it some day, it's going to be inflamed much sooner, there would've been plenty of signs physically that would have to be ignored, and someone who wants diagnostics and treatment isn't likely to refuse testing and treatment.

@@KLTer-jo9jy My friends used to called me “crazy” because I investigate any new man that would come into my life especially before I met my husband when I was single. Like I have a system (I live in the US): I first check for any marriage records, custody arrangements, permanent / long term restraining orders. Then I’ll make sure to check whether he is actually employed where he said he is. Crosscheck his name against the Megan’s list. And checked Zillow to make sure the house he’s residing is actually under his name as he claims and some history. And having grown up with boys, and having guy best friends, there was this one thing I snooped on him based on my guy friends’ advice and it was non-negotiable: His 🌽 preference, frequency, and whether or not he pays for material and how much/ how often does he pay. I used to be against this, I thought it was TOO personal, but it was my GUY FRIENDS that were adamant that I find out because it could reveal to me A LOT about a man, and whether or not I’ll be safe and be able to raise children with this man. Then I ignored the red flags once, the guy turned out to be an ab*sive POS. And when I met my now-husband, he passed all the checks, and he was not upset at all (unlike most men I’ve dated that would turn it around on me) and he said he understands that I was worried about my safety and he has a younger sister so he gets it. I wish someday I’d have the energy, the time and grow the balls to start advocating online for women to perform basic safety checks on men. Especially for single mothers to perform checks on new men to protect them and their children from predators. In most States in America, as long as you know where to look, plenty of information are public records and they are public records for a reason!

Being a woman feels so scary..all over the world. This is heartbreaking, so heartbreaking.

[@heliaas]

a few additional things i’d like to talk about: - the reason the girls who were being filmed under the skirt by dominique pélicot reported the event is thanks to a security agent. the video of him filming under the skirts has been published by Paris Match and in it, you can hear the security agent say: “your phone takes good shots! (to dominique pélicot). he was filming under your dress!” (to one of the girls, who then responds “no, no, no” (she did not believe he was doing that at this point). the agent responded by saying “yeah, yeah, yeah, are you going to file a complaint? he was filming under your dress, the phone like that, just now. are you going file a complaint?” (his tone suggests he is pressuring them to confirm they will do so). we can then hear someone in the agent’s walkie-talkie say “that makes four clients”, as in female clients that had been filmed, yet in the video he was “only” recording two girls, the other ones were filmed a few minutes before he was caught. one of the girls who was being filmed said “is that true?”, in disbelief, and the agent continued talking, saying “i’m not here to have fun, we’ve been following him with the camera, he’s done that four times! go on, (he said “allez” which is a french interjection that, in this context, is basically a threat meaning he doesn’t want to see dominique pélicot any additional second in the supermarket) police! to the police, now!” (dominique pélicot then tries to move). the agent tells him “you’re staying here, you! you’re not going anywhere.” to one of the girls again: “madame, i’m counting on you to sue him. he was filming under your dress. go on, to the police! you’re calling them right now for me! and the other clients? (the other women that had been filmed) fuck, we should’ve gone and found them. there are three others.” to dominique pélicot again: “you’re a disgusting pig, you, really. yeah, you’re a disgusting pig! (pause) you’re in luck, i swear, had it been my mother, i would’ve ripped your head off. we’re going to wait for them (the police) in the arraignment room.” (he then takes the phone away from dominique pélicot and talks to the girls). “madame, how are we going to proceed now? i’m going to let you finish grocery shopping, i’m taking your contact details and i’ll call you back as soon as the police are here so you can file a complaint. because right now you must go on with the procedure until the end. this type of behaviour, it’s… (he sighs). he wasn’t able to delete the videos, i took his phone away. yes, it’s the third time that he does that with these women” (to the person in the walkie-talkie). a big THANK YOU to this security agent. he acted the exact right way and is the reason everything was uncovered. (source: Paris Match) - dominique pélicot said that out of every man he talked to on the platform he organised the r@pes, about 7 out of 10 agreed to r@pe Gisèle, while about 3 out of 10 refused to. but NONE of them reported what was happening to the police. NONE. (sources: contre-attaque, libération) - Coraline, Gisèle’s daughter, said that according to professionals, Gisèle would have died in 2021 from the drugging if nothing had been uncovered and dominique pélicot had kept drugging and abusing her with the same dosing and frequency. (source: Caroline in Ça commence aujourd’hui, video is available on Ça commence aujourd’hui’s youtube channel under the title “Procès de Mazan: le “père” de Caroline a drogué sa mère pendant 10 ans pour la livrer à des hommes”) - one of Gisèle’s r@pist, Joan K., r@ped her the day his daughter was born. (source: La Provence) - dominique pélicot stated during the trial: “i’m a r@pist just like the other ones in this room. they all knew, they can’t contradict that.” (source: AFP) edit: added some sources, corrected the translation of the video of the security agent catching dominique pélicot, and added the last point.

@@TititoDeBologay I noticed it's much more effective about SA, at least the victims are much less scared than in Poland for example. Slavic countries are trying to kill the victims with poverty when they stop being quiet, so both the rape culture and the underreporting problem are extreme.

@@TititoDeBologay But yeah, like in every country, the charges for SA should be much longer and the country should just turn prisoners into production workers to stop counting the losses while taking care of prisoners with country's budget for longer than 6 months. It should also stop feeling bad for criminals because they can always go to a single person cell and play with crayons for years, like probably their victims after a trauma.

Shame has to change side. Second, and this is my main point: as a french activist said, this is not simply a terrible story, this is also a sociological case of "banality of evil", illustrating how any man, father, doctor, firefighter, young or old etc, has the potential to be a rapist under specific circumstances, as that's what society lead them to be through patriarchy and r*pe culture. All men should question themselves on how different they truly are from these 51 men, and look deep into the social constructs they have internalized and which could be part of the same mechanisms as the ones which led these men to commit the unthinkable horror.
