Gisèle Pelicot Rape Trial: Family's Devastation and National Reckoning

In a harrowing trial in Avignon, Gisèle Pelicot's children testified about the devastation caused by their father, Dominique Pelicot, who drugged their mother and facilitated her rape by dozens of men over nine years. Dominique, who admitted to the charges, is also accused of secretly photographing his daughter and daughters-in-law. The trial, involving 51 men, aims to raise awareness about drug-facilitated sexual abuse. The family, grappling with the trauma, urged victims to speak out against such crimes.
