What is Dominique Pélicot ‘s profile on Wikipedia?
Dominique Pélicot is a 71-year-old man, husband of Gisèle Pélicot , the victim who suffered abuse by 50 men, including Pélicot, between 2011 and 2020, through the provision of medication to his wife without her consent.
Gisèle had a relationship of almost 50 years with Dominique, with whom they had three children: Caroline Darian and two other boys, who appeared with their mother to give testimony at the court in Avignon, France.
The couple’s three children loved them so much that they often lived with them as adults, going on vacation and bringing their children to their home in the south of France for long summer breaks.
Gisèle Pélicot was a victim of this practice for almost ten years, unaware of what was happening while she was under the influence of the drugs her husband gave her in her food.
The other 50 defendants , who face sentences of up to 20 years in prison, have given different versions of the events. Some say they were unaware of the victim’s drug use and thought it was a consensual act.
