In December 2024, Dominique Pelicot was found guilty of drugging and repeatedly raping his wife, Gisele, over a decade while also inviting other men to partake in the abuse. He was sentenced to 20 years of prison time by a French court. Now, two months after his conviction, Dominique and Gisele's daughter, Caroline Darian, has come forward with the account of abuse she faced at the hands of her father.
When reported for the first time, the case of Gisele Pelicot shook the world to its core, but in France, it sent tremors from which the nation is still coping. However, more than the world, it was Gisele and her children who had to deal with the arrest and the public trial of a sex offender who was also their father.
