Dominique Pélicot, a 71-year-old Frenchman, has admitted in court to drugging his wife, Gisèle Pélicot, and facilitating her rape by dozens of men over nearly a decade, alongside raping her himself. His testimony, in which he pleaded for forgiveness from his wife and their three children, is pivotal in a trial that has gripped France and sparked protests against sexual violence. The case involves over 50 men accused of aggravated rape, many of whom claim they believed Gisèle was consenting. Gisèle, who has waived her anonymity to bring attention to the pervasiveness of sexual violence, has openly condemned her attackers. This trial has highlighted the deep-seated issues of sexual abuse and consent, with Dominique’s actions being described as those of a 'Jekyll and Hyde' character. The proceedings have been closely followed, with significant public and media interest aimed at understanding the extent and impact of the abuse.
