Dominique Pelicot and 49 others were condemned for the rape or sexual coercion of his former wife, while one of the accused was convicted of attempted and severe rape of his own wife after coping with Pelicot's methods.

Darian reported a fateful call of her mother in November 2020, in which Gisèle informed her that her father, who is now 72 years old, had anesthetized her over a period of about 10 years to enable rape by different men. "At that moment I lost what a normal life was," Darian told the broadcaster.

The tragedy of abuse

Darian also pointed out that she suspected that she was even a victim of sexual abuse by her father.
