Gisèle Pelicot and the trial that changed France | The Story

[@Conorguill]

The scariest thing about all of this is the other men. One evil, psychopathic man is terrible but the ease with which he seems to have recruited so many others is baffling and genuinely scary

[@charlottelee3727]

See them online. Most comment sections have at least one man using any subject as a chance to promote abuse and hatred against women.

[@sarahmurphy-nf4yl]

Imagine how easy it is for them to.do to children 😳 😮😢

[@clareburke7466]

It's not baffling to me. I realised when young that men have a very bad attitude to woman. We grew up in an age of page 3 models and benny hill. Woman were sexualised and still are and these are the repercussions.

[@lisashapiro4714]

Exactly, imagine it all. And imagine that they said she was for it ...just like NYC police protected the predators

[@SafetySpooon]

This is why we get angry at men who whine " #notallmen " because we KNOW it's WAY TOO MANY, way too common & most men are oblivious to it.

[@1972dsrai]

As a man and a father I am truly shocked by what her husband and countless men did to her. She’s a very brave woman who deserves respect and admiration for standing up against the brutal crimes inflicted on her. I hope all those men get lengthy sentences. Theres still another thirty unidentified and one’s on the run, but the police are still looking for them and hopefully they’re all found and brought to justice.

[@GlobalCitizen55]

I cannot imagine how difficult it must be for Gisèle Pelicot to deal with this. She shows immense strength. I am so angry at the people who committed these heinous acts.

[@katella]

"people who committed these heinous acts"? Are you afraid to say 'the men'? That is avoid the main aspect of what occurred. I understand that many women are hesitant to call out men for their "heinous" behaviour. We can be threatened, ostracized, silenced or accused of being a manhater. But it is important to say the truth of what men who hate women can and want to do to women. It is a first step to holding men responsible for their crimes and to understanding why and how this hatred and desire to harm and humiliate comes to be. It is difficult to understand how a man can appear absolutely normal and yet act out these horrible crimes against women. We must keep this in mind.

[@violiendamast]

She is something else. I have so much admiration for her.

[@teresaareces4995]

I believe her , I’m with this lady, my husband , my high school sweetheart, no one else before him we were married in 1971 I was 19 years old, we had no children, he did the same thing to me back in 1978 when I was 26 years old, he claimed “because he wanted to “ thank God it only happened 1 time, I stay quiet for his family sake he didn’t want them to know they were very Catholic and good conservative family , I loved them very much to hurt them by telling them about their son, that’s why I didn’t brought him to court , i separated from him immediately and I did divorced him in 1979! This damaged me tremendously and the trust in another men was gone for ever, I’m now 73 years old, believe me it still hurts ! I HOPE THE JUDGES DO MAKE THE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT DECISION ! May God bless her and her children 🫶

I have such respect for the way Giselle Pelicot and her children are handling this nightmare. I hope that they feel the support and find a bit peace of mind.

[@mushypeasplease8872]

Wow that male nurse is a real piece of work. When caught in the act of r*pe, he redefines the meaning of the word and redefines the r*pist as the victim and the actual victim as the perpetrator. Just revealing the typical mindset of every r*pist. God knows what repulsive acts he's subjected female patients to over the years. Even his "explanation" to "prove" his innocence, that it was supposedly sold to him as a game, betrays his inner r*pist, in that he didn’t even think he needed her consent, from her, just supposedly took the other man's word for it. Wow. Just wow. And he was a nurse. This case has made me even less trusting of men in professional (or maybe any) settings.

[@riverdeep399]

Give it time, I think further victims will appear. Theres no way this was the first offence with that kind of defunct mindset.

[@PotionsClub]

And his wife is still with him 🤯

[@PaperMario64]

I feel bad for his meek wife. I’m sure he picked her because she’s probably afraid to say anything. It’s scary to me that he’s whining because they want to adopt a child! I can’t imagine what horrors that child would be subjected to.

[@kataratify]

Ditto to the other comments saying that they feel bad for his wife

I have no doubt he has abused his meek wife as well. All of these men are vile beyond words.

[@ZeckeGegenRechts]

I’m not sure if it’s the same in France as it is in Germany, but you are not allowed to show the faces of people who don’t consent to it. They have the right to privacy, even if they are convicted. Gisele Pelicot sacrificed her anonymity for a greater cause.

It is terriable what happen to Gisele but that is only part of the travesty of what that monster did to her. After his arrest, she found out that she was bankrupt because of his actions. She has had to sell her home and most of her possessions. She left with 2 suitcases of clothes/possessions at age 72! I hope that France has social security and her pension- penniless! What is terriable is that we will think of her as a victim not what a wonderful wife and mother she is- she made a family! She was a well respected Logistics engineer. She had a career that she was respected for greatly. I admire her courage and pray for and her children.

[@ruthgiles8926]

I hope you are wrong that we will think of her as a victim. In fact, I don't. I see her as a warrior and inspirational. Her courage and dignity is off the scale. Having finally pieced together what had been happening to her (including inexplicable bouts of venereal disease!), she rose above the humiliation and betrayal, and exposed herself all over again to bring these maggots to justice, and to pave the way for new laws to prevent this kind of unthinkable behaviour and change society's attitudes towards women and the men who disrespect us. The fact that her husband was not only perverted enough to want to do this, but knew he had a ready market in other men who would conspire to join in and protect each other, is an indictment of the unacknowledged misogyny that underpins society, even today. She is not a victim, she is a hero!

[@cherylcook6284]

@ruthgiles8926 amen, well said. My point was that the maggot did more than take her innocence. He left her penniless in her old age, took her reputation, risked her life (STDs are no joke), and destroyed her children's peace. I admire Gisele and her children and what they are trying to do for the safety and dignity of everybody. They are Hero's!

[@74artgrrl]

What this one woman has endured is a representation of what many women endure. The number of men willing to violate women is alarming. It forces one to ask the question: “what is systematically wrong with men?”

[@eliznaalbertse1971]

My thoughts exactly.

[@kathrynbeetham5308]

What if she hadn't been the "perfect" victim? What if she had been a sex worker? A woman who had a criminal record? A young woman just out of the care system? A homeless woman? Because these things happen to those women to. She's brave, she's deserves the title of hero, shes all of us. ...but....would the press have been so interested if she'd been imperfect?

[@storyland-m4u]

👌Eventually maybe, but the route to getting there would have been judgemental, lacking empathy & sincerity, that's the shameless nature of the media & many people when women ( & some men too) don't fit their perspective, would imagine Ms G aware of this- & made it accountable without anonymity for all

[@chlorophyllheart]

Definitely not, but her being the perfect victim as you say, and her giving up her anonymity, is hopefully paving the way for others to be fairly judged and prosecuted.

[@graceg3250]

A woman just out of a care home or homeless is extremely vulnerable and those situations scream the likelihood of something happening. I can’t think of a better kind of victim.

[@Between_earth_and_heaven213]

How can this not be a capital crime? What has been taken from Mdme Pelicot - her autonomy, her sense of safety and dignity, her right to consent - can never be returned to her. There is no possible restitution. She conveyed to her husband and to her husband alone the right to intimacy, in exchange for the right to his protection. From his enjoying, filming, and relishing her repeated degradation, her being infected, her being treated as a human trash can, it is clear that her husband has seethed with hatred for her for over a decade. She has lived with a monster. I would not pay for him to live in prison for a single day. Only capital punishment seems to fit the crime.

I cannot believe that most of the men are not pleading guilty. For example the ‘nurse’ how can he be a nurse and be so self centred. He was apparently in a relationship, why was he having sex with someone else if he’s in a relationship where you’re applying together to adapt a child. He clearly is not suitable to be a nurse or a parent if he cannot see that he is not a victim here. He penetrated someone who he thought was pretending to be sleeping. Are you so out of control of your sexual urges that you cannot put two and two together and think something is not right. Then when all the evidence is put before you, you still cannot take responsibility. This case illustrate that something is very very wrong with our society. We have to learn again what consent is. We have to learn how to take responsibility of our actions. We need to treat other how we would like to be treated, just to name a few. The whole thing is very very disturbing.

Thank goodness for the investigation that went through her husband’s phone.

God Bless this woman who is so courageous. So strong and hopefully she will be protected. Many hugs Gisele.

Yes she is right, it is very hard to absorb what happened, you never dream your husband will betray you like this, when my husband did it to me I couldn’t believe what was happening, and when he say that “ he wanted to do it and he did it “ it was hard to swallow. I wanted to speak to our priest, then when WE spoke with the priest 2 that married us, again he said to them in front of me “ I wanted to do it and I did “ “ she didn’t agree to it, so I drug her a little “ he didn’t want his family to know, I didn’t say anything because I loved them and I didn’t take him to court, I just divorced him .

He will be free to do to others. I would still warn because behind the scenes others may in future come forward.

It is hard to believe the judge left some of those men to walk out free after the nightmare she lived

'My body was there but my mind was not'. Pathetic excuse. You weren't drugged like she was.

This is a story of a woman who i feel is my hero. Any man or women willing to stand up and say not again Nd not on my watch, when it comes to SA, Has my ssupport. She has stopped a woman, a man and/or another child from having to deal with these horrific people.

[@antheairenedevilliers1657]

She was so damn brave to allow those videos to be seen. She knew that without that compelling evidence, hardly anyone would have taken it seriously. The unthinkable has become the thinkable, sadly.... God bless her

A nurse who doesn't know if a person is inconscient or not? So, he is not sure but he goes ahead with having sex with a person who he is not sure of being conscient? What bad excuses!

Great job telling the story!!!. 😢 thanks for sharing!

Once you see and or experience the evils of this world you can no longer stand by idly. There are monsters like these EVERYWHERE! Fathers, brothers, sons, teachers, coaches, pastors, leaders within government, aristocrats - the list is endless really. My point being: be careful ladies. Protect yourself and your children. Predators don't go around showing their fangs and claws unless absolutely necessary. Try to use discernment when seeking child care, a partner, or even a church to belong to.

[@carolinepotts5448]

What a brave lady. What nightmare happenings she has had to deal with. Salutations to her for allowing this to be revealed, up for the sake of women everywhere. What an excellent journalist for the way this story was revealed on this podcast.

Reminds me that men are very good at keeping secrets, no matter the disgusting crime. 😢
