Dominique Pelicot Trial for Mass Rape Concludes

Dominique Pelicot, 71, is on trial for drugging his wife Gisele and facilitating the rape of her by numerous men over a decade, as he admitted in court. His daughter, Caroline Darian, has accused him of also abusing her, a charge he vehemently denies, despite incriminating photographs found on his laptop. In a tense courtroom exchange, Caroline shouted at her father that he would 'die alone like a dog,' expressing her anguish over his denials and the lies she believes he has told. Pelicot acknowledged his sex addiction and described the act of drugging women as deplorable, but maintained he did not harm his children. The trial, characterized as one of France's worst sex abuse cases in two decades, is set to conclude with a verdict on December 20. Gisele Pelicot, testifying about her ordeal, stated she believed she was raped more than 200 times during the years of abuse.
