Daughter of Convicted French Rapist Demands Justice in Shocking Interview

Caroline Darian, the daughter of Dominique Pelicot, who was sentenced to 20 years in prison for drugging and facilitating the rape of his ex-wife Gisele Pelicot, has spoken out in her first television interview. Airing on BBC on Monday, she described her father as “always a sexual pervert” and declared, "He should die in prison, he is a dangerous man."

Dominique Pelicot, 72, was convicted in a case that has drawn national outrage in France. He was found guilty of orchestrating a horrific scheme where he drugged Gisele Pelicot to allow dozens of men to assault her over a span of more than a decade. Alongside Pelicot, approximately 50 other men received prison sentences ranging from three to 15 years.

In her interview, Darian, who believes she was also a victim of her father's abuses, expressed her feelings of betrayal and described her father as a stranger. She stated, “There are two Dominiques co-existing in him. He decided to choose the dark side,” and emphasized that he acted with full awareness of his actions.

In a broader context, Darian plans to narrate a documentary set to air on France 2, which will focus on the severe issue of drug-facilitated sexual abuse. The documentary will include testimonies from additional survivors, highlighting the pervasive nature of this crime.
