CONFESSION: A Man In French Admits Raping Ex-wife Along with 50 Other Men
A man in French aged 71 years old pleaded guilty in court before his wife and three children for inviting 50 men, including himself, to rape his wife ten years ago.
He was quoted saying, “Today I maintain that, along with the other men here, I am a rapist.” Dominique Pelicot openly said that his fellow crime mates knew what happened. This testimony was so shocking to the nation, and onlookers are optimistic that it will create awareness to combat sexual violence.
Though most of the other 50 men denied the allegations because they said there was consent and that they were influenced, the judges will use Pelicot’s testimony against them. Gisele Pelicot, who was raped, has been praised for standing to fight against sexual violence in France and also for her openness to the media. She will speak in Court on Tuesday.
With tears rolling down Pelicorts eyes, he narrated the traumatic childhood when his father used to do the same thing as he watched at the age of 14. He blames his father for poor parenting, which affects his future and family.
When Police searched Pelicort’s house, they found electronic devices with videos containing sexual acts with dozens of men sleeping with his ex-wife as she lies unconscious on their marital bed. With the video evidence, the police could track 72 other suspects to aid their investigations.
