In a shocking case that has sent waves of outrage across France, Dominique Pelicot, a 72-year-old man, has been sentenced to 20 years in prison for drugging and raping his ex-wife, Gisele Pelicot. The crimes, which took place over a decade, involved soliciting dozens of strangers to commit rape.
Caroline Darian, Pelicot’s daughter, has spoken out against her father’s heinous crimes, stating that he “should die in prison” and is a “dangerous man.” In an interview with the BBC, Darian revealed that her father had a dark side, and his actions were not those of a sick man, but rather a conscious decision to commit evil.
Darian also shared her own traumatic experience, believing that she was drugged and raped by her father. Although she lacks evidence, she is convinced of his guilt.
The case has sparked widespread condemnation, with many praising Gisele Pelicot’s bravery in waiving her right to a closed trial. The trial, which lasted three months, resulted in the conviction of 50 co-defendants, who received sentences ranging from three to 15 years.
As the world grapples with the severity of these crimes, Darian’s words serve as a powerful reminder of the need for justice and accountability.
