Barbaric scene in France/ Man drugged woman and then invited other men to fuck her
Gisèle Pélicot, who was allegedly drugged by her ex-husband so she could be raped by other men while she was unconscious, witnessed her world collapse when police discovered years of abuse.
"It's unbearable," she told the court in the southern French city of Avignon in an hour of testimony.
Dominique Pélicot, now 71, and 50 other men are standing trial on charges of aggravated rape and face up to 20 years in prison. The trial started on Monday and is expected to last until December. Thursday marked the first time Gisèle Pélicot, also in her 70s, had testified.
She and her husband of 50 years had three children. When they retired, the couple moved to a house in Mazan, a small town in Provence.
But in late 2020, a security agent caught her husband taking pictures of women's private parts in a supermarket, prompting investigators to search Dominique Pélicot's phone and computer. They found thousands of photographs and videos of men raping Gisèle in their home while she appeared to be unconscious.
Police investigators found communications Dominique Pélicot allegedly sent to a messaging website commonly used by criminals in which he invited men to sexually abuse his wife. French authorities shut down the website earlier this year.
A woman who was allegedly drugged by her ex-husband so she could be raped by other men while she was unconscious testified Thursday that her world came crashing down when police discovered years of alleged abuse.
Speaking in a calm, clear voice, Gisèle Pélicot recounted with impressive composure the horror of discovering that her ex-husband had systematically filmed dozens of alleged rapes - saving thousands of images that police investigators later found.
"It's unbearable," she told the court in the southern French city of Avignon in an hour of testimony. "I have so much to say I don't always know where to begin."
Dominique Pélicot, now 71, and 50 other men are standing trial on charges of aggravated rape and face up to 20 years in prison. The trial started on Monday and is expected to last until December. Thursday marked the first time Gisèle Pélicot, also in her 70s, had testified.
The Associated Press generally does not identify victims of sex crimes. But Gisèle Pélicot's lawyer, Stéphane Babonneau, said she agreed to have her name published in the same way that she insisted the trial be public.
She told the court she hopes her testimony can help save other women from similar ordeals. She said she prompted the open court trial in solidarity with other women who are not recognized as victims of sex crimes.
She and her husband of 50 years had three children. When they retired, the couple moved to a house in Mazan, a small town in Provence.
"I thought we were a close couple," she told the court.
Por në fund të vitit 2020, një agjente sigurie e kapi burrin e saj duke bërë foto të bigëzimeve të grave në një supermarket, duke i shtyrë hetuesit të kontrollojnë telefonin dhe kompjuterin e Dominique Pélicot. Ata gjetën mijëra fotografi dhe video të burrave që shfaqeshin duke përdhunuar Gisèle në shtëpinë e tyre, ndërsa ajo duket se ishte pa ndjenja.
Kur oficerët e policisë e thirrën për ta marrë në pyetje, ajo fillimisht u tha atyre se burri i saj ishte "një djalë i mrekullueshëm". Por pasi u përball me të pazbulueshmen – policia i tregoi disa nga imazhet – ajo u largua nga burri i saj.
"Për mua, gjithçka shembet," dëshmoi ajo. "Këto janë skena barbarie, përdhunimi."
Ajo u largua me dy valixhe, “gjithçka që më kishte mbetur nga 50 vite jetë së bashku”. Që atëherë, ajo tha: “Unë nuk kam më identitet. ... Nuk e di nëse do ta rindërtoj veten ndonjëherë.”
Hetuesit e policisë gjetën komunikime që Dominique Pélicot dyshohet se i kishte dërguar në një uebsajt të mesazheve të përdorura zakonisht nga kriminelët, në të cilat ai ftonte burra të abuzonin seksualisht me gruan e tij. Autoritetet franceze mbyllën faqen e internetit në fillim të këtij viti.
Detaje të papërpunuara të abuzimeve të supozuara, për të cilat hetuesit thanë se filluan në vitin 2011, dhe të sistemit të përpunuar Pélicot të vendosur në mbi 10 vjet, janë shfaqur gjatë gjykimit.
Dominique Pélicot u tha hetuesve se burrat e ftuar në shtëpinë e çiftit duhej të ndiqnin disa rregulla - ata nuk mund të flisnin me zë të lartë, duhej të hiqnin rrobat në kuzhinë, nuk mund të mbanin parfum dhe as erën e duhanit.
Ndonjëherë atyre u duhej të prisnin deri në një orë e gjysmë në një parking aty pranë që ilaçi të hynte në fuqi të plotë dhe ta bënte Gisèle Pélicot të pavetëdijshme.
Viktimës dyshohet se i është dhënë një “koktej” droge
Toksikologu foli të enjten për një “koktej” mjekimi, përzierje Temesta dhe Zolpidem, ilaçe hipnotike dhe anksiolitike. Një ekspert mjekësor tha se përdhunuesit e dyshuar nuk ishin detyruar të mbanin prezervativë dhe se Gisèle Pélicot kishte kontraktuar katër infeksione seksualisht të transmetueshme.
"Unë u flijua në altarin e vesit," dëshmoi Gisèle Pélicot. "Ata më konsideronin si një kukull lecke, si një qese plehrash."
Për shkak se Dominique Pélicot regjistroi në video përdhunimet e supozuara, policia ishte në gjendje të gjurmonte - gjatë një periudhe prej dy vjetësh - shumicën e 72 të dyshuarve që kërkonin.
Përveç Pélicot, 50 burra të tjerë, nga 22 deri në 70 vjeç, janë duke u gjykuar. Disa të pandehur po mohojnë disa nga akuzat kundër tyre, duke pretenduar se ato janë manipuluar nga Pélicot.
E pyetur në gjykatë, Gisèle Pélicot hodhi poshtë argumentin se ndonjë nga këta burra ishte manipuluar ose bllokuar.
"These men entered my house, they respected the imposed protocol. They didn't rape me with a gun to my head. They raped me with all conscience," she said. "Why didn't they go to the police station? Even an anonymous phone call could have saved my life."
Over the next few months, the defendants will appear in small groups before a five-judge panel, with Pélicot scheduled to speak next week. Psychologists, psychiatrists and computer experts will also testify.
Outside the court, Gisèle Pélicot told reporters that she had tried to answer the lawyers' questions as best she could, despite the pressure of all these "individuals" behind her.
"We will have to fight until the end."
