Daughter Demands Life Sentence for Abusive Father

Caroline Darian, daughter of Dominique Pelicot, has publicly condemned her father, asserting he should 'die in prison' for drugging and orchestrating the rape of her mother, Gisèle Pelicot, over a decade. Dominique was sentenced to 20 years in prison for these crimes, which involved over 50 accomplices who received various sentences. Darian also suspects her father of drugging and sexually abusing her, although there is no concrete evidence. The case has highlighted issues surrounding chemical submission and the difficulty victims face in being believed without physical evidence. Gisèle Pelicot, who waived her anonymity during the trial, has become a symbol of courage in France. Darian has documented her family's trauma in a book, shedding light on the broader issue of chemical submission in domestic abuse cases.
