Gisèle Pelicot's daughter wants her twisted rapist dad who spent years drugging her mum to "die in prison" following his conviction. Dominique Pelicot, 72, was jailed to 20 years in jail following a shocking three-and-a-half month trial in December after the court in the southern French city of Avignon handed down sentences ranging from three to 15 years’ imprisonment for the 50 men found guilty of rape, attempted rape and sexual assault on Gisèle Pelicot over nearly a decade.
The now ex-husband laced his wife’s food and drink with tranquilizers to render her unconscious. He then invited strangers he met online to take part in sordid rape and abuse fantasies that he acted out with them and filmed in the couple’s retirement home in the small Provence town of Mazan and elsewhere.
And now his daughter Caroline Darian has spoken out about the first time she found out about the horrific crimes, which was on a Monday evening in November 2020. "She announced to me that she discovered that morning that [my father] Dominique had been drugging her for about 10 years so that different men could rape her," Darian said in an interview with BBC Radio 4's Today programme's Emma Barnett. "At that moment, I lost what was a normal life." She believes the rapist "should die in prison".
Darian maintains her father also abused and raped her too, something which he has always denied. "I know that he drugged me, probably for sexual abuse. But I don't have any evidence," she said. Despite the evidence which convicted Dominque, there is no proof of what Pelicot did to her. "And that's the case for how many victims?.
