Warning: This story contains distressing details from the start.
Dominique Pelicot, the 71-year-old man accused of drugging his wife to sleep and recruiting dozens of men to abuse her for over 10 years, has admitted to all the charges against him in his first testimony since the trial opened on 2 September.
Referring to the 50 co-defendants who are accused of raping his now ex-wife Gisèle, Mr Pelicot said: “I am a rapist like the others in this room.”
“They all knew, they cannot say the contrary,” he said. Only 15 of the 50 defendants admit rape, with most saying they only took part in sexual acts.
Of his ex-wife, Mr Pelicot said: “She did not deserve this.”

Castrate the bastards
Waste of effort and it doesn’t actually prevent them from raping again. Just put a bullet in their head.
A website called “without her knowledge”
I know the internet is full of dark shit, but god damn the idea of a website with that name is disgusting. Ridiculous that some of these creeps are trying to pretend they didn’t know it was rape.
I thought this story cannot be more fucked up. But this is a whole different level. Don’t go in if you find the article in the original post is unbearable. I’m sharing because I cannot bend my mind around the level of horrors humans are capable of.
Woman describes horror of learning husband drugged her so others could rape her
The last paragraph 💀
I feel so heartbroken for this person
Now I don’t mean to be divisive but that’s bad and should not have been done.
Seems judgemental to me. Who are you to say what should and shouldn’t be done??
(/s)
This whole story is absolutely disgusting. Not only was this dude absolute dog shit, but he was able to find at least fifty equally debased reprobates to join him in his crimes.
One guy visited 6 times. He is HIV+
Wow. Hearing something like this really makes me question my own morality, because there isn’t much that could happen to these degenerates that I would denounce.
Disgusting story, but enlightening that the bastard admitted. Daves so much time and effort for prosecution and defense
You’d think Citizen Sade came up with the story but no, it’s an article. Things like these always reinforce my belief that his stories were wild for sure but not that detached from reality.
Oh good, he felt accountability, finally, after 10 years of getting people to rape someone who trusted him. This is close enough to contrition for this lunatic, so we probably shouldn’t destroy him.
“She did not deserve this.” You don’t get to say that. I’d prefer if he never got to say anything for the short remainder of his natural-born lifespan.
Edit: having read the article in full, I can’t even maintain the absurdist tone I used in the first half. Whoever advised him on his defense should be barred from ever giving advice again because “I filmed the men I let into my home to rape my wife who I drugged without duress so I could prove she was definitely getting raped and wasn’t a party to her rape like some of these other degenerates are trying to claim” is a first-tier shithole of an explanation.
He was also radicalized by an unknown male nurse saying he should rape his wife. Must’ve been a goddamn Jedi because he got turned to rape very easily. This man is utterly reprehensible and I now want to learn French so I can tell him to die in his native language.
