Antisocialites Posted September 4 Posted September 4 (edited) Quote A man is accused of drugging his wife and then inviting dozens of men to rape her over almost a decade. The questions raised by the case have unsettled the country. For years, she had been losing hair and weight. She had started forgetting whole days, and sometimes appeared to be in dreamlike trances. Her children and friends worried she had Alzheimer's. But in late 2020, after she was summoned to a police station in southern France, she learned a far more shattering story. Her husband of 50 years, Dominique Pelicot, had been crushing sleeping pills into her food and drink to put her into a deep sleep, the police said, and then raping her. He had ushered dozens of men into her home to film them raping her, too, they said, in abuse that lasted nearly a decade. Using the man's photographs, videos and online messages, the police spent the next two years identifying and charging those other suspects. On Monday, 51 men, including Mr. Pelicot, went on trial in Avignon, in a case that has shocked France and cast a spotlight on the use of drugs to commit sexual abuse and the broader culture in which such crimes could occur. The accused men represent a kaleidoscope of working-class and middle-class French society: truck drivers, soldiers, carpenters and trade workers, a prison guard, a nurse, an I.T. expert working for a bank, a local journalist. They range in age from 26 to 74. Many have children and are in relationships. Most are charged with raping the woman once. A handful are accused of returning as many as six times to rape her. The victim, Gisèle, who has divorced her husband and changed her surname since his arrest, is now in her 70s. Horrifying and heart-wrenching. Edited September 4 by Antisocialites
The7thStranger Posted September 4 Posted September 4 ...times like these make me really question if I truly believe the death penalty is a bad thing. That woman is incredibly brave. 7
Popular Post bad guy Posted September 4 Popular Post Posted September 4 Castration and life in solitary confinement until death is the only reasonable punishment. Or castration and then death. Or just death works too. 16 3

scenekiller Posted September 4 Posted September 4 Humanity is so ******* gross, we're truly the worst
alexrex Posted September 4 Posted September 4 What's horrifying is that this was her husband, supposedly the person she could trust the most in life.And he ended up being this monster. It is difficult to trust in people when things like this happen.
Ponzi Posted September 4 Posted September 4 Absolutely horrifying. I can't fathom what goes on in these monsters' minds to become so twisted. I'm shaken to the core. 1
