The daughter of the convicted French rapist Dominique Pelicot has filed a legal complaint accusing him of drugging and sexually abusing her, months after he was jailed for drugging and raping her mother, Gisèle Pelicot.

Caroline Darian, 46, has said she believes she was sedated and sexually assaulted or raped by her father over a period of potentially 10 years between 2010 and 2020, when she was in her 30s. She said she had filed a legal complaint for sexual abuse with the prosecutor “as a message to all victims” that “you must never give up”.
