The French Pervert Exposed: ‘And I Stopped Calling You Dad…’
The shocking revelation of a case in southern France has captivated the nation and brought to light a disturbing story of abuse and manipulation. Gisèle Pélicot, a woman who had been experiencing unexplained weight loss and hair loss, was thought to be suffering from Alzheimer’s disease by her concerned family and friends. However, what she discovered at a police station in late 2020 was even more horrifying.
Her husband of 50 years, Dominique Pélicot, had been drugging her with sleeping pills in her food and drink to render her unconscious, allowing himself and numerous other men to rape her in their own home. The police uncovered this information after a two-year investigation, during which they identified other suspects through various forms of evidence left behind by Pélicot.
The ongoing trial has shocked the nation, with Pélicot’s own daughters having to leave the courtroom due to the distressing nature of the testimony. The case has brought France to its feet, with the shocking details of the abuse and manipulation perpetrated by Pélicot coming to light.
The allegations against Pélicot first surfaced when he was caught in a supermarket filming upskirt videos of women by chance. This event led to the uncovering of a network of 50 men who had been recruited by Pélicot to sexually assault his wife.
Throughout the proceedings, Gisèle Pélicot has remained composed, while her husband sits across from her in court, listening intently to the testimonies. The impact of the accusations on the family has led to a book written by Pélicot’s daughter, titled ‘And I Stopped Calling You Dad,’ which delves into the aftermath of the revelations.
The trial continues, with 72 suspects in total, but only 50 have been traced. The defendants face up to 20 years in prison for aggravated rape if convicted. The investigation uncovered a disturbing online forum where Pélicot shared photos and videos of his unconscious wife being abused by strangers, demonstrating the extent of the manipulation and abuse she endured.
This harrowing case has shed light on the dark underbelly of abuse and manipulation, leaving a nation in shock and disbelief at the horrors that unfolded behind closed doors.
