This being in Europe makes it more significant. Their privacy laws don’t even allow cases to be public like here, any details at all. She choosing to make it public, using her worst moments to send a message, what a brave woman.
@@anajohnson5178ohhh my! I have very little words for you other than you should hope to your higher power that nothing even remotely close to this case happens to you or your loved ones. You're a vile individual.
That footage of Giselle walking through the courthouse filled with applause brought tears to my eyes. It's good to see all of the support she is receiving. I cannot imagine how difficult it must have been to learn this happened and then to stand up in court and face all of her perpetrators. Such a strong woman. I don't know how French courts prosecute and sentence their criminals but I hope Dominique gets life imprisonment considering the fact that he is and has been a serial rapist for decades. I don't see him ever changing.
I'm so proud of Giselle for making it public and helping so many other women, what a strong woman x I talk about the domestic abuse I went through 😢 hopefully help others, I know it's nothing like what she went through but hopefully it helps at least one person to get away x
@@timothy2935 I mean ni ill will with this statement. You can support her, no one is saying that you can't. But as women, I'm sorry, but we do understand this on a deeper level. Having another human inside your body without your consent is unimaginably traumatic. Thank you for supporting women just as much!
@timothy2935 OMG! Why is there **always** someone like you, taking a comment and twisting it. JUST BECAUSE they didn't say "women AND men"? Uhg!

SHE A OG. It takes a ridiculous amount of bravery to show up the way she did. It also shows how beautiful her heart is even after all these atrocities because she chose to do this for others to be brave too.
And just the tip of the iceberg on that one site. The microscopic tip of the iceberg on the amount of sick people walking among us. I can't hardly stand to make eye contact at the store anymore. I don't do people much now....
And her husband is the one defending her against even the men he invited into her home! The other men are saying, they didn’t know, blah blah, and the husband is like, don’t get it twisted, you knew what you signed up for. Like 3 of the men left without doing what they came to do, but they didn’t report the activity to the police, or anyone else.
She is an absolute warrior of a woman. Her strength is inspiring. He will always be remembered as a monster and a pervert. She will forever be an inspiration to women around the world.
The man giving her flowers touched my heart. It was if he was saying that not all men are like this, and I could tell it resonated with her in that moment. Such a brave woman!💜
Hi Annie,I'm French and i'm so happy to see a creator that i like making a vidéo about that case. It's really a horrible story, but we are all behind Gisèle Pelicot for her bravery .. Thank for your work ❤
Same! I didn’t even know this case had made it to the US. we have been hearing from this case ever day for weeks now. I really hope this helps us realize the most twisted and pervert minds are hidden in some appearently very normal individuals . Poor Gisele that is so traumatizing
I am completely at a loss for words. I’ve been married 28 yrs and if I found out my husband betrayed me in this manner I don’t know what I would do. Gisele’s strength is admirable. My heart goes out to her, her daughter and daughter in laws.
This experience happened to me with a former partner, and the amount of courage and conviction it takes to pursue this case and stand in front of the world and speak your truth, is mind boggling and powerful.
@@adriana27100 Mine was while I was living in another country, and they wouldn't take a report after I escaped the country to get away from it. But I'm moving forward the best I can. Sending you prayers, and healing 🙏
I'm not sure how wide the coverage is in the US but it is everywhere in Europe and Gisele has to be one of the bravest ladies I've ever heard of. What happened to her is horrific but she isn't taking a victim stance, she is out there, one strong lady, and as a result her husband and all those pathetic excuses for men are less than dirt!
I hope her boldness changes the way we view/use the phrase “victim stance”. I want it redefined as someone who is in the right and does the right thing especially when it means exposing someone else’s exploitation of your kindness and trust as if it was a weakness. It means standing up to an evil person and in your truth, shining even brighter by comparison to them.
she's still not going to get any justice and they are still protecting the men, who feel completely innocent for the most part. Also, Euro media is definitely not pushing for accountability for all these men or asking for the help of the public to identify the other 30 men they couldn't identify...
I seriously cried when you showed the clip of her walking out of court, and everybody clapping for her and then her being given a bouquet of flowers. She is beyond a strong woman.
Just like probably most of us here, I've been watching/listening to true crime cases for years. This is the first time I literally have no words for one. I am just aghast.
words can’t describe how grateful i am that giselle is alive, but imo this case is truly reminiscent of junko furuta. obviously many details differ and sadly junko succumbed to the injuries but the longevity of the abuse, the depravity, the number of torturers involved… there’s no words to describe the horrific nature of it all. i can’t express the sheer evil nature of all involved. we’re so lucky to be alive to witness a brave woman such as giselle, she deserves righteous justice. although judicial reparations can only be served to her alone, i know for a fact that very same justice would feel symbolic for every survivor.
One was her neighbor. I'm a country girl, surround me with woods, not people. Dogs, big dogs, not people. Life is getting worse and people are getting worse. Annie, keep us informed.
This happened in Asia too. There was a private internet club for voyagerism and somnophilia. There are multiple women who were drugged and raped. Their husbands were the culprits.
My jaw was on the floor the entire time I was listening to this story. How sickening this man is!! This is the absolute worst betrayal I have ever heard of. So disturbing!
This is truly disgusting and disturbing. If he was willing to assult his own daughter, I don't believe him for one minute he wouldn't touch his grandkids. Bravo to Gisele for holding her head high and standing up for not only herself and her children, but all women who have been SA.
I am VERY disappointed in every doctor who didn’t find anything wrong w her. A simple urine or blood test should’ve enlightened them. Having a gyno exam and still nothing???😢
Yeah, not to catch the symptoms of the STI? That's questionable. I understand that if a woman has those symptoms but has no idea how she caught it, the dr usually takes a look at her partner and try to figure out where she got infected. STIs don't pop up out of nowhere.
As sad as it is, doctors really only look at one very specific thing when you go see them. They don't look for a scope of symptoms. I was pregnant for 4 years in a row, one right after the other. During my 2nd consecutive pregnancy I was having this pain during labor that didn't feel like labor pain. I had given birth twice previously without medications, so it was weird that this time I had to be medicated and I was still having pain. The 3rd pregnancy I had the same pain after having 2 epidurals. When I was pregnant the 4th consecutive pregnancy, I didn't even want to say I was pregnant. I went into the hospital with pain and when they asked me if I was pregnant I said no, because I got tired of being told "that is just pregnancy pain!" And they finally took an ultrasound of my gallbladder and saw that it was so far gone. I had probably passed gallstone after gallstone over the previous 3 years and if I did not get my gallbladder out I would probably die. Yes, these were 4 consecutive pregnancies (but I had 1 pregnancy before those that was more than a year earlier with none of these issues) So I got my gallbladder removed and I didn't have any more of those pain issues when I delivered my 5th baby. I even had 2 more after and again, no issues. Only problems were during those 4 consecutive pregnancies when my gallbladder was rotting and they didn't see it because my pain was "just pregnancy related" It was literal sludge inside of me, after passing who knows how many stones... ridiculous I guess, thank goodness I didn't have appendicitis 🤷♀️
What a hero for women Gisele is. I don’t think I would be able to do what she is. I LOVE that she had NOTHING to say to her primary abuser. I pray she and her family find peace
My jaw was on the floor throughout this entire video.. I couldn’t help but cry when she was applauded for her bravery, strength and optimism. She is an incredible woman. May god be with her 💗
Got the most intense full-body goosebumps and started tearing up when you were explaining why she went public, her reasonings. What an amazing and admirable woman to take what happened to her - and letting her husband and all the other men who were such cowards, that she is not going to let them win. Ugh! ❤😢 I hope she finds peace and hope in the days and years to come and can forgive and FORGET him so she can have many great years with her kids and grandkids!
Giséle Pelicot’s bravery is something that I was so stunned by. I’m a woman half her age w so much less to lose. Yesterday, I would have turned the other cheek , but today Giséles story would fuel my flames to insist on justice.
Thank you for showing the video of her leaving the court room to applause from her supporters! That was the most heart warming thing I’ve seen in a while! What a courageous woman!!
I have not heard of this case and I just sat here saying over and over again “He is just SICK” while listening. I am so proud of her going to trial and making those men have to show faces. If I lived close I would have been there cheering on her too.
This happened in Asia too! However it was on a larger level. They had a secret chat club for men whom wanted to drug and pass around their wives to others in the club!! They were arrested and are serving life.
i really don’t know how to feel after learning about this case. unexplainable pain and suffering but i also can’t understand how strong she’s. amazing lady, and i wish she find her peace and solace.
Someone having their way with you when you’re unconscious is truly so traumatizing. It happened to me once, and not knowing what exactly happened to me is haunting. It kept me up at night for a long time. I can’t imagine what this woman went through… the sheer number of men. Her husband doing this all to her. It’s so heartbreaking. Oh my gosh. 😔
Annie, I’ve been listening to you since the Chris Watts case many moons ago. I just wanted to say I am so proud of you & how far you’ve came with your career!!!! You truly are one of the best in the true crime genre! Thanks to you & your team for all you all do 🫶🏻
RIP SOPHIE and sorry for his wife. Terrible things that were done by that husband. Even their daughter. Thanks for telling this torrid story. Hope justice prevails. Problems with childhood does not mean you hurt other people when you grow up.
I've heard so many different numbers! If he allowed..no ENCOURAGED this to happen 1 time... THEN IT HAPPENED HUNDREDS OF TIMES BY HUNDREDS OF MEN. but I definitely agree the numbers are not correct. Love to you in Paris ❤from Northern California ♥️🇫🇷🇺🇸🌎❤
This is the first I’ve heard of this, but if the information in this video is correct, I have a question. How can they not have caught all of the perpetrators when he literally dated with the name and the number of times visited each recording or photographs? That’s like an attorney‘s dream. The guy did the paralegal work for the prosecutors. They have an image a name and a date and they can’t get all of the perpetrators? And I know that this is not just France. This happens in the US too and it really frustrates me that our taxpayer dollars in the US go to entities that focus on small crimes (like drug possession) and not be able to solve horrific ones like this even when it’s handed to them on a silver platter .
Thank you for covering this case. I live in Belgium and it’s been covered on the news but not in detail. That woman is a hero for standing up and refusing to propagate shame
What an absolute nightmare!! The audacity of her ex to even ask for forgiveness! She responded perfectly by turning around and walking away. She is a courageous woman and I pray that she will continue taking her life back and healing with her family.
What a brave woman Gisele is! I cannot believe what she went through. I'm so glad that she has made this stand for herself in the name of all women ❤ she is truly inspirational.
And no one called the police. I mean there must be men out there who has seen this and didn't did it but also didn't say something. How many are complicit in this??
I’m so absolutely disgusted with people using an abusive childhood as an excuse for being an evil monster!!! I went through some horrific trauma throughout my childhood & my dad was very abusive to my mom & used to kids!! I’ve never assaulted a child or anyone & in fact it made me a very vigilant mom so my kids would never be abused!!
As a survivor of frequent SA as a child, it makes me so angry when people try to blame their evil actions on things that were done to them. Almost every day of my childhood from the ages of 3 to 18 was horror, but I have never once even thought about hurting another person. You are responsible for your own actions, not someone elses.
Best review of the entirety of this horrible crime. Thank you. I am a well educated 64 year old woman whose made a career out of criticizing. You are professional, not condescending, thorough, engaged, intelligent, planful...just wonderful to see a woman do so well. All the best to you.
@@ThePinsay Could it be that she is actually some type of ¨professional critic¨ (i.e theater, food,,,) ? However, her grammatical error of ¨whose ¨instead of ¨who´s¨ totally contradicts that well- educated part. Yep, going to have to go with you on the Embarrassing ;( Will give her credit for recognizing Annie´s worth so not all bad in the end. Gisele is Magnifique, continued strength and Peace to her ☮
The woman was just giving a compliment. No one can claim to know what was going through her mind but I'm sure she didn't mean anything nasty. Was just a nice comment as far as I'm concerned.
Who cares if there's a grammatical error. We all make these when typing and sometimes forget to proof check. Does it really matter. Doesn't mean we can't be educated still.
This is one of the worst things I've heard! Gizelle is such a strong woman! I had chills watching this. Thank you to the men that stood up for her too. We talk about murders a lot that we become somewhat desensitized to it, like here's another one. What did this person do? But this is a whole nother level of evil and sadistic. Thank you for covering this case Annie! Best wishes for Giselle and her family. ❤️
I couldn’t watch it all. But trusting someone so much and he is doing all this to his wife is truly nauseating. There are some sick people in this world. Wow
Wow I think this case will really stick with everyone. The horror and betrayal is truly disgusting. There aren’t even words for it. What a brave and incredible woman. I am moved by her ❤️
This broke my heart. I cried through this episode. I can’t even begin to fathom being victimized to this extent by the person you love and trust the most in life. The applause for Gisele at the end got me. She’s a strong and resilient woman! ❤
This incredibly brave woman insisted that the videos of her being assaulted were played in public, open court. It left nowhere to hide for those who assaulted her. I am in awe of the bravery of Giselle. I hope she is able to find a sense of justice and peace at the end of the trials.
Hi Annie, I took a break from listening to crime as I was becoming more depressed. But it’s lovely to be be back to hear u. Your story telling is great . Thank u for all ur hard work
The sheer amount of these men thinking that getting the husbands consent is the same as getting her consent! It is a very toxic trait for a lot of men, they think they own their wives and children!
Lots of women are waking up to who their fathers, husbands, friends, brothers are because of this case. You are right, many men don't think they did anything wrong or are victims too. The grey divorce is about to skyrocket in France!
Thank you so much for covering this case. It must have been appalling reading through all of that horror, but you were amazing at showcasing this incredibly strong woman. As a survivor of an ex who did horrific things in secret until I reported him to the police, it is amazing seeing another woman who has been victimized by the person they were supposed to be able to trust holding her head up high and showing such amazing strength. I hope that she has the best life from here on out!
your mom is 100% correct i now have my first grandchild she's almost 2 and i say that all the time it's not that we love them more then our kids it's just a different type of love ❤️ like they really can do no wrong in our eyes like i could feel so tired and hurting all over when i get off of work but as soon as i get home and see her little face light up because im home and i hear her say yay gigis home and she runs up and hugs me im done all the pain goes away and im no longer tired
I cannot even begin to imagine this level of betrayal. This is so cruel and evil. Then to have his daughter and daughters in law. This guy is a monster. It also makes you wonder about so much more. No one excepts a monster to be honest, so there's that. This is so many levels of messed up. I'm glad she was able to find the strength to show up to court and make everyone accountable for their actions.
As unimaginable as all of this is, she is incredible! I believe she will give a voice to a lot of other survivors. I will never be able to understand how your spouse, your significant other and father of your children could ever do something like this. Repeatedly!
A few years ago, I took the stance that I was a child and a victim. I was not the one who committed the acts nor was I the parent who repeatedly left their child unsupervised with two predators. It makes a world of a difference! Good for her!
I heard about this horrific abuse on his spouse over decades. This was on World News Tonight with David Muir. So frightening. Poor Giselle, I can't even imagine what she was made to go through and thoroughly unaware is just Beyond the Pale ! I'm glad Giselle has loving children and friends that have rallied to her side. I hope they all go away For Life, No Parole. Giselle is a Beautiful Soul Inside and Out !! Praying for All going through horrendous abuse throughout the World.
I'm glad you're covering this. I just heard about it not too long ago and listened to some of the interviews and it's absolutely dreadful and disgusting! What kind of a sick monster could do such things & act normal in between the abuse and that there are so many people that are willing to take part, what an absolute filthy nasty community. That poor woman thinks she has all of these issues and it turns out she's being raped on a regular basis and drugged beyond repair. Her children are so amazing, fully supporting her and she is just a pillar of strength. I wonder how many other people have similar experiences that they don't even know about? She can't be the only one. This is just another entire kind of brand of horrid disgusting exploitation of depraved abuse.
It’s so crazy how he gave her the exact amount that kept her completely unconscious and she wouldn’t wake up at all not once during 90+times. He had to have experimented for years on his own to get the dose exact before he started letting these other men come in
This is horrific 😡😢 what a disgusting, evil man ! Can you imagine the realisation for Gisele that she was looking at herself in the photographs , in her own home ?! 🙏
Ty Gisele' for being so brave! This one was so hard to watch for me, but Ty for covering this story Annie! I pray that all of Gisele's transparencies will keep more women safe, and won't be victims like this amazing woman was. What a beautiful way to walk away with her head held high everyday, and not hide, nor be ashamed. As many of these deep dive's of cases you cover bring me to tears, this one moved me to instead of being a silent viewer, but to post and thank both Gisele, and you ! ❤
My heart goes out to her and her family. To live like that for years and not know. Why were the previous crimes swept under the rug? So much heartache may have been prevented. She is such a brave woman.
I've never gotten to a video so fast!! Thank you for all the stories you share and the amazing way you share the victims stories!! I've been listening for a little over a month or 2 and I've been trying to catch up on all your videos!! Can't get enough while I'm at work!
You and your team are really good at digging information up. You guys should investigate for the DA because you guys are better than some of the ones they use. Thank you for another researched case.
Exactly. I like her as well, but she's repeating what anyone who follows any of these cases would know. This makes sense because she (like any other True Crime UA-camr or person) can only obtain what is already published or a request from the courts. @MrMancreatedgod
I’ve held it more or less together up to the part with her receiving an ovation from the people outside of the courtroom. Honestly I’m applauding her myself
What an absolutely horrible terrible thing to happen. This guy needs to spend the rest of his life under the jail. It’s amazing to see how strong Gisele is and how she is standing tall after such truly terrible things were done. She is the definition of a hero. I wish her the very best and hope she can someday find happiness and peace
Oh my fn god!! I am in utter shock at this! Never when I hit play, did I expect this. Gisele, you are a strong and brave woman. Bless you, and I send my heartfelt sorrow for what you've been through. Thanx Annie for your coverage of this case. Much love, Pamela, in Arizona
Her sense of safety and security must have been utterly shattered. She is so incredibly fortunate to not have contracted HIV from the one rapist. Heartbreaking!
I was introduced to this case by Stephanie Soo where she did a deep dive at the start of it. Thank you so much Annie Elise for covering this case, there's so much that I have learned, especially about the trial and what's going on. Stephanie's Soo video felt more like a prequel to this and honestly the more we can cover this case, the better. Giselle is a warrior, the bravery it has taken for her to give away her privacy in order to help others that had no voice is truly remarkable. DP is a disgusting SOB who deserves to rot in jail, all he cares about is himself. The men that were part of SA her are equally disgusting.
This is alot more common than you’d think. I had a feeling my ex boyfriend was roofying me, the next mornings he’d send me videos of me passed out. I wouldn’t remember anything. He’d joke about running a hidden camera voyeur business on the dark web. I reported this to the FBI anonymously but I still see him out there dating new girls. He’d joke and say, out of all the women I’ve done this to you’re the first to figure it out. I’m traumatized now, but don’t ignore the red flags, ladies. It started with when we were being intimate he’d ask to see videos of me with other men…I have no idea what happened to me those times I was passed out, but God only knows. I know God will bring me justice one day.
This one was definitely tough. My heart breaks just to imagine the pain of this monster's betrayal! For all the willing participants out there, everything we do in life comes back to us. At the time of our departure from this world, we leave with nothing, naked and empty-handed. Sooner or later, we must remember that we will pay for all the wrongful things we have done. It is the circle of life!
Omg, this lady is such a shining star. I feel so horrible, how do you come to realise your entire life has been wasted on such a mutt. But she shines strongly!!!
I was a victim of SA from ages 5-8 then called an f$cking liar by dad when he found out. That did NOT make me a predator as an adult. YES it messed me up badly and I made some HORRIBLE choices. Never have those choices been SA. As an adult you wed to take responsibility for your actions and STOP blaming your childhood!
Me choking up when I heard she CHOSE to be public with what happened to her 😭 Walking into that court house head held high... I am moved.
This being in Europe makes it more significant. Their privacy laws don’t even allow cases to be public like here, any details at all. She choosing to make it public, using her worst moments to send a message, what a brave woman.
Me too. I respect her fully and hope justice gets served
It's like never happened anything to her because she he was under drugs.

Shame must change sides - Gisele Pelicot. There is no need to say anything more. She’s the change, she’s the strength, the support so many women need.
Exactly. She's the wise and strong woman we look up to.
Very well said, Lituana. She is a class act. I admire her strength.
That's a great sentiment but victims will still feel it. Don't diminish their feelings by saying DON'T FEEL THIS WAY
I can't imagine the betrayal and horror she must have felt. She is an incredibly strong woman. I hope she feels the support of women everywhere

Cancel the View Elon. These women enrich themselves with biased zero based value!
It was from all the high amounts of drugs they were feeding her nightly
Drugs have side effects on the entire body
He was drugging her
this! traumatizing experiences do that, i have it too
The fact that he convinced so many men to come into his home and be recorded committing a crime… 🤯
The fact that those men think that with her husband's "permission" it was okay to r4p3 her.
There was no "convincing". They all came from the same website that's literally for rape fantasies. Pretty easy to find perverts online.
The fact that they probably didn't need a lot of convincing...
The sheer number of despicable men in this story is staggering 🐻
I'm surprised she can walk
And just the tip of the iceberg on that one site. The microscopic tip of the iceberg on the amount of sick people walking among us. I can't hardly stand to make eye contact at the store anymore. I don't do people much now....
And her husband is the one defending her against even the men he invited into her home! The other men are saying, they didn’t know, blah blah, and the husband is like, don’t get it twisted, you knew what you signed up for.

Survived but suffered from side effects. It's reason why she went to doctor to get checked. She was feeling sick.

@@adriana27100 Mine was while I was living in another country, and they wouldn't take a report after I escaped the country to get away from it. But I'm moving forward the best I can. Sending you prayers, and healing 🙏
I'm not sure how wide the coverage is in the US but it is everywhere in Europe and Gisele has to be one of the bravest ladies I've ever heard of. What happened to her is horrific but she isn't taking a victim stance, she is out there, one strong lady, and as a result her husband and all those pathetic excuses for men are less than dirt!
I hope her boldness changes the way we view/use the phrase “victim stance”. I want it redefined as someone who is in the right and does the right thing especially when it means exposing someone else’s exploitation of your kindness and trust as if it was a weakness. It means standing up to an evil person and in your truth, shining even brighter by comparison to them.
she's still not going to get any justice and they are still protecting the men, who feel completely innocent for the most part. Also, Euro media is definitely not pushing for accountability for all these men or asking for the help of the public to identify the other 30 men they couldn't identify...
Been following this case. I'm in USA. This woman's courage is changing the tide for victims. I'm wishing only happiness for her.
I seriously cried when you showed the clip of her walking out of court, and everybody clapping for her and then her being given a bouquet of flowers. She is beyond a strong woman.
Me too. I have such respect for her 💕
How she chose to put her name out there and make it all public for others is absolutely amazing ❤
Just like probably most of us here, I've been watching/listening to true crime cases for years. This is the first time I literally have no words for one. I am just aghast.
words can’t describe how grateful i am that giselle is alive, but imo this case is truly reminiscent of junko furuta. obviously many details differ and sadly junko succumbed to the injuries but the longevity of the abuse, the depravity, the number of torturers involved… there’s no words to describe the horrific nature of it all. i can’t express the sheer evil nature of all involved. we’re so lucky to be alive to witness a brave woman such as giselle, she deserves righteous justice. although judicial reparations can only be served to her alone, i know for a fact that very same justice would feel symbolic for every survivor.
Completely stunned!
This is truly a horrific case. I cannot even believe such monsters can exist
it the worst
We live among monsters. That’s the scary reality.
One was her neighbor. I'm a country girl, surround me with woods, not people. Dogs, big dogs, not people. Life is getting worse and people are getting worse. Annie, keep us informed.
This happened in Asia too. There was a private internet club for voyagerism and somnophilia. There are multiple women who were drugged and raped. Their husbands were the culprits.
every single person in those videos BETTER be held accountable, this is terrifyingly horrid.
She is so strong and stood up against someone she loved and trusted. This is horrible and my hope that she can live her life and be happy.
My brain went blank with this episode. How do you do this to someone you claim to love?
My jaw was on the floor the entire time I was listening to this story. How sickening this man is!! This is the absolute worst betrayal I have ever heard of. So disturbing!
I PRAYYYYYY that he gets some good old fashion prison justice. Every single day, a new man, in HIM, conscious too.
he will not, you'll see, he'll be free in a few years.
He will be put in protective custody, away from the general population.
This is why I am so content with being by myself this is so vile I feel horrible for her
Same girl…
same ! 😕
Right?!?! And men honestly wonder why we choose the bear. I mean this is a TRUSTED man! Horrid.
Me too. I am autistic. I didn't get married because having someone in the same bed, I just could never get sleep
You know what, I've been married for 20yrs, but I completely agree with you 😂😂😂😂
This is truly disgusting and disturbing. If he was willing to assult his own daughter, I don't believe him for one minute he wouldn't touch his grandkids. Bravo to Gisele for holding her head high and standing up for not only herself and her children, but all women who have been SA.
I am VERY disappointed in every doctor who didn’t find anything wrong w her. A simple urine or blood test should’ve enlightened them. Having a gyno exam and still nothing???😢
My question as well. wtf?
Gynos don't see wether you have an stds or not unless you ask them specifically for an std urine test!
Yeah, not to catch the symptoms of the STI? That's questionable. I understand that if a woman has those symptoms but has no idea how she caught it, the dr usually takes a look at her partner and try to figure out where she got infected. STIs don't pop up out of nowhere.
Yes! Said she was ridden with then. I'm assuming sores, smell, itching... ?
As sad as it is, doctors really only look at one very specific thing when you go see them. They don't look for a scope of symptoms.
I was pregnant for 4 years in a row, one right after the other. During my 2nd consecutive pregnancy I was having this pain during labor that didn't feel like labor pain. I had given birth twice previously without medications, so it was weird that this time I had to be medicated and I was still having pain.
The 3rd pregnancy I had the same pain after having 2 epidurals. When I was pregnant the 4th consecutive pregnancy, I didn't even want to say I was pregnant. I went into the hospital with pain and when they asked me if I was pregnant I said no, because I got tired of being told "that is just pregnancy pain!" And they finally took an ultrasound of my gallbladder and saw that it was so far gone. I had probably passed gallstone after gallstone over the previous 3 years and if I did not get my gallbladder out I would probably die.
Yes, these were 4 consecutive pregnancies (but I had 1 pregnancy before those that was more than a year earlier with none of these issues) So I got my gallbladder removed and I didn't have any more of those pain issues when I delivered my 5th baby. I even had 2 more after and again, no issues. Only problems were during those 4 consecutive pregnancies when my gallbladder was rotting and they didn't see it because my pain was "just pregnancy related"
It was literal sludge inside of me, after passing who knows how many stones... ridiculous
I guess, thank goodness I didn't have appendicitis 🤷♀️
Whenever you think it can
Not get any worse, something new pops up.
What a hero for women Gisele is. I don’t think I would be able to do what she is. I LOVE that she had NOTHING to say to her primary abuser. I pray she and her family find peace
My jaw was on the floor throughout this entire video.. I couldn’t help but cry when she was applauded for her bravery, strength and optimism. She is an incredible woman. May god be with her 💗
Got the most intense full-body goosebumps and started tearing up when you were explaining why she went public, her reasonings. What an amazing and admirable woman to take what happened to her - and letting her husband and all the other men who were such cowards, that she is not going to let them win. Ugh! ❤😢
I hope she finds peace and hope in the days and years to come and can forgive and FORGET him so she can have many great years with her kids and grandkids!
Forgive!??? Get a reality check you absolute mile oot!
Oh my God, absolutely sickening 😢 But bravo to this woman for having the courage to call out her “husband ” and the other demons who abused her!
Giséle Pelicot’s bravery is something that I was so stunned by. I’m a woman half her age w so much less to lose. Yesterday, I would have turned the other cheek , but today Giséles story would fuel my flames to insist on justice.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you for showing the video of her leaving the court room to applause from her supporters! That was the most heart warming thing I’ve seen in a while! What a courageous woman!!
I have not heard of this case and I just sat here saying over and over again “He is just SICK” while listening. I am so proud of her going to trial and making those men have to show faces. If I lived close I would have been there cheering on her too.
This happened in Asia too! However it was on a larger level. They had a secret chat club for men whom wanted to drug and pass around their wives to others in the club!! They were arrested and are serving life.
Where in Asia? Ty
@@olikane530@Stephanie Soo has it on her UA-cam Channel
I'm from Scotland and I've been following this case and it breaks my heart for all the survivors of this .
i really don’t know how to feel after learning about this case. unexplainable pain and suffering but i also can’t understand how strong she’s. amazing lady, and i wish she find her peace and solace.
I’m so proud of her. I cried when she came out of that Courtroom.
Someone having their way with you when you’re unconscious is truly so traumatizing. It happened to me once, and not knowing what exactly happened to me is haunting. It kept me up at night for a long time. I can’t imagine what this woman went through… the sheer number of men. Her husband doing this all to her. It’s so heartbreaking. Oh my gosh. 😔
:( my cousin did it to me
Annie, I’ve been listening to you since the Chris Watts case many moons ago. I just wanted to say I am so proud of you & how far you’ve came with your career!!!! You truly are one of the best in the true crime genre! Thanks to you & your team for all you all do 🫶🏻
Chris Watts case was 2 seconds ago
@@ThePinsaynot the first time she covered it.
@ThePinsay yeah that started years ago, actually.
@@darladawn1111 not at all. I do believe it was one of the first cases she covered years ago!
RIP SOPHIE and sorry for his wife. Terrible things that were done by that husband. Even their daughter. Thanks for telling this torrid story. Hope justice prevails. Problems with childhood does not mean you hurt other people when you grow up.
Hi from France (Paris ) ! I love your content . In fact , there were 83 seperate men (not 72 ) and only 50 were identified and caught by the police .
I've heard so many different numbers! If he allowed..no ENCOURAGED this to happen 1 time... THEN IT HAPPENED HUNDREDS OF TIMES BY HUNDREDS OF MEN. but I definitely agree the numbers are not correct. Love to you in Paris ❤from Northern California ♥️🇫🇷🇺🇸🌎❤
This is the first I’ve heard of this, but if the information in this video is correct, I have a question. How can they not have caught all of the perpetrators when he literally dated with the name and the number of times visited each recording or photographs? That’s like an attorney‘s dream. The guy did the paralegal work for the prosecutors. They have an image a name and a date and they can’t get all of the perpetrators? And I know that this is not just France. This happens in the US too and it really frustrates me that our taxpayer dollars in the US go to entities that focus on small crimes (like drug possession) and not be able to solve horrific ones like this even when it’s handed to them on a silver platter .
Thank you for covering this case. I live in Belgium and it’s been covered on the news but not in detail. That woman is a hero for standing up and refusing to propagate shame
Thank you for covering this! It’s horrible! I admire Gisele’s courage!
This is unimaginably horrific!!! Absolutely evil!
This has to be THE most schocking story i have ever heard. Each word i heard made my jaw hang lower. Literally have no words.
What an absolute nightmare!! The audacity of her ex to even ask for forgiveness! She responded perfectly by turning around and walking away. She is a courageous woman and I pray that she will continue taking her life back and healing with her family.
What a brave woman Gisele is! I cannot believe what she went through. I'm so glad that she has made this stand for herself in the name of all women ❤ she is truly inspirational.
Not one man in 54+ said “wait a minute. This is wrong”. That’s terrifying.
And no one called the police. I mean there must be men out there who has seen this and didn't did it but also didn't say something. How many are complicit in this??
@@Flaubert for real!! They could have even called anonymously and gotten her help without him knowing who it was. So disgusting.
Think there was actually a couple of men who felt uncomfortable & left but they didn't report it.
@@jinndiaz3752 cowards. They could have manned up and stopped it. Or asked her the next day if she was really ok and consenting.
Amazing woman. I want to hug her for what she's been through and applaud her for her bravery.
The strength and grace of Gisele is one of the most amazing things I've ever seen.
I’m so absolutely disgusted with people using an abusive childhood as an excuse for being an evil monster!!! I went through some horrific trauma throughout my childhood & my dad was very abusive to my mom & used to kids!! I’ve never assaulted a child or anyone & in fact it made me a very vigilant mom so my kids would never be abused!!
As a survivor of frequent SA as a child, it makes me so angry when people try to blame their evil actions on things that were done to them. Almost every day of my childhood from the ages of 3 to 18 was horror, but I have never once even thought about hurting another person. You are responsible for your own actions, not someone elses.
Best review of the entirety of this horrible crime. Thank you. I am a well educated 64 year old woman whose made a career out of criticizing. You are professional, not condescending, thorough, engaged, intelligent, planful...just wonderful to see a woman do so well. All the best to you.
Wow. Embarrassing! God forbid you weren't educated! Pity education can't buy you class! Boasting about criticising ppl!? Maybe learn from Annie then!?
@@ThePinsay I thought it was a strange comment as well 🤔 🎉
@@ThePinsay Could it be that she is actually some type of ¨professional critic¨ (i.e theater, food,,,) ? However, her grammatical error of ¨whose ¨instead of ¨who´s¨ totally contradicts that well- educated part. Yep, going to have to go with you on the Embarrassing ;( Will give her credit for recognizing Annie´s worth so not all bad in the end. Gisele is Magnifique, continued strength and Peace to her ☮
The woman was just giving a compliment. No one can claim to know what was going through her mind but I'm sure she didn't mean anything nasty. Was just a nice comment as far as I'm concerned.
Who cares if there's a grammatical error. We all make these when typing and sometimes forget to proof check. Does it really matter. Doesn't mean we can't be educated still.
So gross and heartbreaking 💔 I pray she gets justice she deserves!! From ALL defendants!!
I agree We make these abusers too anonymous because it's an ugly part of society. This is why they should be front page news Every time.
Then others say we give them power and infamy by using their names.
This is one of the worst things I've heard! Gizelle is such a strong woman! I had chills watching this. Thank you to the men that stood up for her too.
We talk about murders a lot that we become somewhat desensitized to it, like here's another one. What did this person do? But this is a whole nother level of evil and sadistic. Thank you for covering this case Annie! Best wishes for Giselle and her family. ❤️
I couldn’t watch it all. But trusting someone so much and he is doing all this to his wife is truly nauseating. There are some sick people in this world. Wow
The end bit is pretty beautiful. I'm so happy that Gisele is getting the support she deserves x
Wow I think this case will really stick with everyone. The horror and betrayal is truly disgusting. There aren’t even words for it. What a brave and incredible woman. I am moved by her ❤️
This broke my heart. I cried through this episode. I can’t even begin to fathom being victimized to this extent by the person you love and trust the most in life. The applause for Gisele at the end got me. She’s a strong and resilient woman! ❤
This incredibly brave woman insisted that the videos of her being assaulted were played in public, open court. It left nowhere to hide for those who assaulted her. I am in awe of the bravery of Giselle. I hope she is able to find a sense of justice and peace at the end of the trials.
Hi Annie, I took a break from listening to crime as I was becoming more depressed. But it’s lovely to be be back to hear u. Your story telling is great . Thank u for all ur hard work
The sheer amount of these men thinking that getting the husbands consent is the same as getting her consent! It is a very toxic trait for a lot of men, they think they own their wives and children!
They were on a r*** website where they clearly knew what was happening. They weren't innocent in any way shape or form.
Lots of women are waking up to who their fathers, husbands, friends, brothers are because of this case. You are right, many men don't think they did anything wrong or are victims too. The grey divorce is about to skyrocket in France!
I haven’t even started listening yet and already I’m incensed by the title alone.
Same I clicked bc my name is Dominique😭
This woman is so brave. She has my utmost respect and support. This is not her story. This is her triumph over evil.
Thank you so much for covering this case. It must have been appalling reading through all of that horror, but you were amazing at showcasing this incredibly strong woman. As a survivor of an ex who did horrific things in secret until I reported him to the police, it is amazing seeing another woman who has been victimized by the person they were supposed to be able to trust holding her head up high and showing such amazing strength. I hope that she has the best life from here on out!
your mom is 100% correct i now have my first grandchild she's almost 2 and i say that all the time it's not that we love them more then our kids it's just a different type of love ❤️ like they really can do no wrong in our eyes like i could feel so tired and hurting all over when i get off of work but as soon as i get home and see her little face light up because im home and i hear her say yay gigis home and she runs up and hugs me im done all the pain goes away and im no longer tired
I cannot even begin to imagine this level of betrayal. This is so cruel and evil. Then to have his daughter and daughters in law. This guy is a monster. It also makes you wonder about so much more. No one excepts a monster to be honest, so there's that. This is so many levels of messed up. I'm glad she was able to find the strength to show up to court and make everyone accountable for their actions.
As unimaginable as all of this is, she is incredible! I believe she will give a voice to a lot of other survivors. I will never be able to understand how your spouse, your significant other and father of your children could ever do something like this. Repeatedly!
Gisele will go on to be an advocate for victims. I’m in awe of her courage.
A few years ago, I took the stance that I was a child and a victim. I was not the one who committed the acts nor was I the parent who repeatedly left their child unsupervised with two predators. It makes a world of a difference! Good for her!
Her strength is unmatched! ❤
Thanks Annie for loving the victims and presenting so eloquently ❤
I heard about this horrific abuse on his spouse over decades. This was on World News Tonight with David Muir.
So frightening. Poor Giselle, I can't even imagine what she was made to go through and thoroughly unaware is just Beyond the Pale !
I'm glad Giselle has loving children and friends that have rallied to her side.
I hope they all go away For Life, No Parole.
Giselle is a Beautiful Soul Inside and Out !!
Praying for All going through horrendous abuse throughout the World.
I'm glad you're covering this. I just heard about it not too long ago and listened to some of the interviews and it's absolutely dreadful and disgusting! What kind of a sick monster could do such things & act normal in between the abuse and that there are so many people that are willing to take part, what an absolute filthy nasty community. That poor woman thinks she has all of these issues and it turns out she's being raped on a regular basis and drugged beyond repair. Her children are so amazing, fully supporting her and she is just a pillar of strength.
I wonder how many other people have similar experiences that they don't even know about?
She can't be the only one.
This is just another entire kind of brand of horrid disgusting exploitation of depraved abuse.
It’s so crazy how he gave her the exact amount that kept her completely unconscious and she wouldn’t wake up at all not once during 90+times. He had to have experimented for years on his own to get the dose exact before he started letting these other men come in
This is horrific 😡😢 what a disgusting, evil man ! Can you imagine the realisation for Gisele that she was looking at herself in the photographs , in her own home ?! 🙏
Wow. I have heard 1000 stories, but this one had my jaw dropped!!!!!
Ty Gisele' for being so brave!
This one was so hard to watch for me, but Ty for covering this story Annie!
I pray that all of Gisele's transparencies will keep more women safe, and won't be victims like this amazing woman was. What a beautiful way to walk away with her head held high everyday, and not hide, nor be ashamed.
As many of these deep dive's of cases you cover bring me to tears, this one moved me to instead of being a silent viewer, but to post and thank both Gisele, and you ! ❤
My heart goes out to her and her family. To live like that for years and not know. Why were the previous crimes swept under the rug? So much heartache may have been prevented. She is such a brave woman.
I've never gotten to a video so fast!! Thank you for all the stories you share and the amazing way you share the victims stories!! I've been listening for a little over a month or 2 and I've been trying to catch up on all your videos!! Can't get enough while I'm at work!
Right? I was watching another video and happened to see she uploaded and clicked over to this one faster than road runner 😅
You and your team are really good at digging information up. You guys should investigate for the DA because you guys are better than some of the ones they use. Thank you for another researched case.
I second this
True
Ditto
❤
Exactly. I like her as well, but she's repeating what anyone who follows any of these cases would know. This makes sense because she (like any other True Crime UA-camr or person) can only obtain what is already published or a request from the courts. @MrMancreatedgod
I’ve held it more or less together up to the part with her receiving an ovation from the people outside of the courtroom. Honestly I’m applauding her myself
What an absolutely horrible terrible thing to happen. This guy needs to spend the rest of his life under the jail. It’s amazing to see how strong Gisele is and how she is standing tall after such truly terrible things were done. She is the definition of a hero. I wish her the very best and hope she can someday find happiness and peace
Oh my fn god!!
I am in utter shock at this!
Never when I hit play, did I expect this.
Gisele, you are a strong and brave woman.
Bless you, and I send my heartfelt sorrow for what you've been through. Thanx Annie for your coverage of this case. Much love, Pamela, in Arizona
Her sense of safety and security must have been utterly shattered. She is so incredibly fortunate to not have contracted HIV from the one rapist. Heartbreaking!
I was introduced to this case by Stephanie Soo where she did a deep dive at the start of it. Thank you so much Annie Elise for covering this case, there's so much that I have learned, especially about the trial and what's going on.
Stephanie's Soo video felt more like a prequel to this and honestly the more we can cover this case, the better. Giselle is a warrior, the bravery it has taken for her to give away her privacy in order to help others that had no voice is truly remarkable.
DP is a disgusting SOB who deserves to rot in jail, all he cares about is himself. The men that were part of SA her are equally disgusting.
This is an unbelievable story. First I’m hearing of it. Thank you so much for sharing and bringing it to light.
Gisele is one amazing woman!❤
This is alot more common than you’d think. I had a feeling my ex boyfriend was roofying me, the next mornings he’d send me videos of me passed out. I wouldn’t remember anything. He’d joke about running a hidden camera voyeur business on the dark web. I reported this to the FBI anonymously but I still see him out there dating new girls. He’d joke and say, out of all the women I’ve done this to you’re the first to figure it out. I’m traumatized now, but don’t ignore the red flags, ladies. It started with when we were being intimate he’d ask to see videos of me with other men…I have no idea what happened to me those times I was passed out, but God only knows. I know God will bring me justice one day.
I knew that I could only understand this story better with Annnie❤Watching you from zambia 🇿🇲
I feel so much for this woman and the support that she is getting from people.
This case is mind boggling to me! 🤯 So many questions! How does that many years go by… wow!
This one was definitely tough. My heart breaks just to imagine the pain of this monster's betrayal! For all the willing participants out there, everything we do in life comes back to us. At the time of our departure from this world, we leave with nothing, naked and empty-handed. Sooner or later, we must remember that we will pay for all the wrongful things we have done. It is the circle of life!
Omg, this lady is such a shining star. I feel so horrible, how do you come to realise your entire life has been wasted on such a mutt. But she shines strongly!!!
All 73 of these monsters should be in jail right now. 😡
There were many more than 73... Iirc it's more like 80-90. If anyone knows for sure, please comment
I was a victim of SA from ages 5-8 then called an f$cking liar by dad when he found out. That did NOT make me a predator as an adult. YES it messed me up badly and I made some HORRIBLE choices. Never have those choices been SA. As an adult you wed to take responsibility for your actions and STOP blaming your childhood!
The community supporting her like that is just AMAZING and I literally get goosebumps and tears just watching that!❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is one of those stories that I can’t wrap my head around. Like, I can’t accept this reality. It’s unbelievable 😢
