A shocking case of alleged drugging and rape has come to light in the southern French city of Avignon, where a woman named Gisèle Pélicot testified against her ex-husband and 50 other men. The trial, which started on Monday and is expected to run until December, has revealed the horrifying details of years of abuse that Gisèle endured.

Gisèle Pélicot detailed in court how her world collapsed when police uncovered the alleged abuse by her former spouse. She described the discovery of thousands of images and videos showing her being raped by different men while unconscious. The images were stored by her ex-husband, Dominique Pélicot, who is now 71 years old and facing charges of rape along with the other men involved.

The story began in late 2020 when a security agent caught Dominique Pélicot taking inappropriate photos in a supermarket. This led to a search of his phone and computer, where investigators found evidence of the alleged rapes. Gisèle was shocked to learn the extent of the abuse and left her husband after seeing some of the images. She described the scenes as “barbaric” and “scenes of rape,” leading her to leave with just two suitcases after 50 years of marriage.

The trial has brought to light the elaborate system that Dominique Pélicot allegedly put in place over 10 years, starting in 2011. Men invited to the couple’s home had to follow strict rules, such as removing their clothes in the kitchen, not wearing perfume, and waiting in a nearby parking lot for the drugs to take effect. Gisèle testified that she felt like a “rag doll” or a “garbage bag” and was sacrificed on the altar of vice.

The investigation into the case has led to the identification of 72 suspects, with 50 men besides Pélicot standing trial. Some of the defendants have denied the accusations against them, claiming they were manipulated by Pélicot. The trial will continue with the defendants appearing before a panel of judges, and experts such as psychologists, psychiatrists, and computer specialists will also testify.

Gisèle Pélicot’s brave testimony in court has shed light on the horrors of sexual abuse and the need to hold perpetrators accountable. She hopes that her story will help other women avoid similar ordeals and has pushed for the trial to be held in public to raise awareness about the issue. The trial will continue to uncover the truth behind the alleged abuses and seek justice for the victims.
