A woman who was allegedly drugged by her now ex-husband so that she could be raped while unconscious by other men testified Thursday that her world collapsed when police uncovered the years of alleged abuse.
Speaking in a calm and clear voice, Gisèle Pélicot detailed to the court in the southern French city of Avignon the horror of discovering that her former spouse systematically filmed the suspected rapes by dozens of men — storing thousands of images that police investigators later found.
It’s worth noting that she wanted to open the court proceedings to the public because there are more than 80 indicted individuals. This is so brave, those trash won’t remain anonymous.
Few stories have made me feel as sad as this one, what a horrible thing. I am absolutely amazed by the strength of this person to be open with her trauma and humiliation in order to help others.
I can’t believe the bravery. I also can’t believe the… Loss. A whole lifetime of unknowing loss. At 71 how do you rebuild and redefine yourself? She’s obviously making the best effort, but holy shit.
