Dominique Pelicot’s Rape Trial Nears Conclusion Amid Emotional Testimonies
The rape trial of Dominique Pelicot is drawing to a close after eleven weeks of hearings in Vaucluse, France. Pelicot, 71, disclosed his motivations behind a decade of repeated rapes of his ex-wife, Gisèle Pelicot, and the involvement of multiple accomplices recruited online. In a tense courtroom, his daughter Caroline passionately confronted him, accusing him of lying about his actions and their impact on the family. The trial, described as extraordinary, will continue with final arguments from the plaintiffs.
