Dominique Pelicot's Daughter Demands He 'Die in Prison' After 20-Year Sentence for Drugging and Rape
Jan 11, 2025, 01:46 PM
Caroline Darian, the daughter of Dominique Pelicot, has publicly stated that her father should 'die in prison' following his conviction for drugging and enabling the rape of his wife, Gisèle Pelicot, by dozens of men over a decade. In an interview with the BBC, Darian expressed her belief that her father is a 'dangerous man' and should never be released. She also suspects that she herself was drugged and possibly raped by her father, although she lacks evidence to support this claim. Dominique Pelicot was sentenced to 20 years in prison for his crimes, which came to light after his arrest for filming women in a supermarket. The trial, which concluded with guilty verdicts for Pelicot and 50 others involved in the assaults, has been one of the most notorious sex crimes cases in France.
