Shocking revelations: Pelicot under suspicion for other crimes!

A shocking case of sexual abuse shakes France: Gisele Pelicot, 72, is the victim of a terrible crime that lasted over a decade!

In one of the worst cases of sexual violence in modern French history, Dominique Pelicot, 72, was sentenced to 20 years in prison. The former electrician has stunned his wife for years to provide them with men who raped them. A court in Avignon spoke the judgment that shocked the nation.

The cruel truth came to light when Gisele Pelicot, who had previously believed to live in a loving relationship, discovered terrible reality. From 2011 to 2020, her husband mixed her sleeping pills and sedatives into the food to put them in a state of unconsciousness. During this time, more than 50 men were convicted of their role in the rapes!

the cruel unveiling

The investigation started when Dominique Pelicot was caught in a supermarket in a supermarket in November 2020. The police found a shocking collection of videos on his Computer that documented his wife's abuse. Gisele Pelicot was not aware of the atrocities that had happened to her and suffered from memory loss and other health problems that her husband did not explain to her.

A total of 51 men were convicted in this case, with 47 of them spoken guilty of rape. The others were convicted of attempted rape or sexual assault. The police assume that Gisele was attacked by a total of 72 men, many of whom have not yet been identified and live in large amounts.

The perpetrators: Who are you?

The perpetrators come from all areas of life: from truck drivers to nurses to bankers. They were called the "Monsieur Tout-Le-Monde"-a terrifying example of the fact that rapists do not always meet the clichés. Among the convicts are men who have families and are respected in society.

• Jean-Pierre Marechal , 63, was sentenced to 12 years in prison because he had misused his own wife for years.
• Lionel Rodriguez , 44, a supermarket employee, received 8 years in prison.
• Jacques Cubeau , 73, a former fireman, believed that his actions were mutually acceptable and was sentenced to 5 years.
• Joan Kawai , 27, a soldier, missed the birth of his daughter as he abused Gisele and was sentenced to 10 years.
• Romain Vandevelde , 63, a pensioner who is HIV-positive received the longest penalty of 15 years because he raped Gisele without protection.

The public prosecutor had asked for harder punishments, but many of the convictions were below expectations. The cruel reality of these crimes not only shaken the victims, but also society.

The investigation continues: The police identified Pelicot as possible series criminals and reopened old cases. Two unresolved cases from the 1990s - a murder and an attempted attack - are now the focus of the investigators. The hunt for justice for Gisele Pelicot and other possible victims has just started!
