Why don't they show the faces of the rapists? If Dominique Pelicot hadn't had the videos, the media would have been questioning the victims' allegations. Show the faces of the abusers!
I think the internet is revealing the worst of humanity. My hope is the younger generation of women where they have freedom will reject men who watch corn, let alone be okay either torture, and eventually men will develop better characters and/or the sick ones will d ie out.
To everyone asking how she didnt know. HE WAS DRUGGING HER! And when she went to the doctor because she was sore and thought she might have some kind of infection or disease or even Alzeimers she basically was disregarded and told she probably had dementia. WOW
I agree as well. Your comment needs to be pinned and on top, especially for those who do not believe her. This woman went through a lot of trials and even if she tried to understand what was happening to her, people kept dismissing and questioning her like now. These men are the maggots.
If someone was druging you for an extended period of time. Wouldn’t you start noticing something. Gaps in memory. Falling in deep sleep after interaction with someone. You would also see sign of being violated. I don’t know details of this case. But, even if you went to doctors and they dismissed it. Wouldn’t you feel something is off? I’m not blaming her for anything. I just think it’s very strange it took so long to discover the abuse.
Who says he will live that long. Who says he won't want to live that long once he gets into prison with the other inmates that don't like grapists. An eye for an eye......but no drugs given.
Deep Betrayal. Our only hope is that he does not outlive 20 years, and this is a death sentence. In American prisons, he would be put in the general population so that prisoners would take him out.
Well said, it is truly remarkable. The level of betrayal and the scale with so much video evidence of 20k SA's while unconscious must've been shocking when she first found out.
In the early 80s, when I was 16, I read an article about rape. It was a survey of men, and apparently the responses indicated that 7/10 men would rape a woman if they knew absolutely that they couldn’t be caught. I was shocked but discounted it. I thought it was impossible. How could only 30% of men be decent? How could most of the men I knew be potential rapists? It was too much, I had to dismiss it. Now, 40 years later with this rape case, I believe the survey to be true and if anything… the number has gone up and not down. It’s actually pretty terrifying.
I remember reading it too. You can still find the article online. I used to argue with men who would tell me that all men only want one thing. I defended men, but now I know better. Those men were right. I still can't bring myself to say "all men," but I know it is most, at least 75%.
These figures are actually disgusting but I do strongly believe these to be correct facts and to think that probably 7 out of 10 men are potential rapists makes me sick to the stomach I never read the article but I believe it to be correct
It’s true and it is not surprising. Deep, deep down,the men we know and love believe the messaging they’ve received their whole life: That women are inherently less than men, that we aren’t as intelligent, aren’t as logical, don’t really know what we want or what’s best for us, that we need men’s money and protection and expertise, and therefore we owe men our bodies, that we’re manipulative and hypergamous, that we fall into categories according to our desirability, age, and body count, etc etc. Most men aren’t even aware of this deeply ingrained prejudice and never consider them, but they are there, and they affect how men treat us and how they vote.
It is like drunken and driving. The survey says that one is caught after 200 times driving under the influence. Not sure about this kind of issue, but there is at least half of times they do something before they are caught.
This is just one honor that we have this in the states: “An award given to citizens who display courage is often called a "Citizen Honors Award," which is typically presented by the Congressional Medal of Honor Society to recognize individuals who exemplify values like courage, sacrifice, and patriotism through acts of bravery in their communities; essentially honoring civilian heroes who go above and beyond in the face of adversity.”
There is not a single detail in this case that is not absolutely horrific. All these men who willingly participated in these abhorrent crimes shows what so many men think of women. Not a day goes by that we don’t hear of similar crimes. We stand with you and your daughter Gisele!
Her gynecologist should be put in jail. Of ALL people, if a gynecologist cannot tell when a woman has been vaginally violated then they have NO BUSINESS being a gynecologist. Don't they have a duty to report suspected abuse?
As a longstanding victim of similar abuse - no, gynecologists assume every woman between 12 and 60 sleeps around and if there are injuries then they can only possibly be due to "rough s*x". They think every woman is hopping around with anything that moves and that occasionally things "get a bit rough"!!!
I went to three gynecologists for vaginal pain and not one of them knew that my IUD had become embedded. None of them knew that an IUD can fall over and become embedded while still attached to the cervix. I finally demanded a sonogram and it was found. I was gaslit repeatedly that it was all in my head until the sonogram tech got the doctor and told me that I needed emergency surgery before it perforated my uterus.
Nothing is "happening" to humanity. Unfortunately human beings have always been messed up, we just hear about it more because of media and social media.
Seriously what is wrong with these men? The idea that there were so many men who would do this is frightening. Madamme Pelicot is a heroine for women's rights!

The is a betrayal of a spouse unlike anything I've ever seen before. She was married to this man for 50 years and I think we can all see our moms in her.
And our dad's in him. There was a lot of abuse not all sexual but also domestic violence, under the patriarchal system that gave man superiority in the home thanks to deliberate wrongful teaching of the Holy books, for the very purpose of aiding in abuses. Like in the abuses by the church, inside the churches and in homes.
Same here! Could never trust a man. Forget it! I've been through decades of abuse from the grape gangs here in the UK... I wouldn't trust a man as far as the end of my finger!
That’s pretty raw considering most men are decent, hardworking fathers. Please don’t be to harsh towards us all, just because of a few sick individuals.
That's a lot more though than he would get here in the UK. Here he wouldn't even be found guilty... I've been subjected to decades of abuse and police keep arresting ME - me, a disabled girl...
I know, it doesn't seem like a fair sentence for these horrible crimes. But at the age he is, going into prison, there's no way he'll be coming out unless he's in a coffin (no great loss). Glad that this lady was able to get the justice she deserved.
I noticed that after mid age for a woman, doctors don't search what is wrong when you have health complaints. They don't put effort in and regard everything as peri menopausal or menopausal and all your signs of illness is seen as if 'natural'. Seriously they dont bother with aging women about why they are sore or in pain and forgetful etc.. they just send you back home or if you insist give very basic blood tests to again send you back home.
The doctors would never imagined what was happening to this lady. He only was caught when he was trying to photograph up girl's skirts and then they checked his computer.
New laws should be put in place all over the world, for men who are abusive. They get away with disgusting crimes. Shame on the families that dont believe a woman when she needs help!
For the YEARS of premeditation, planning, coordinating and filming, he gets 20 years? And the others all got a lot less. That doesn't send a message to the men in France.
Men , and women have got to start calling out abuse and rape. This is not acceptable. No excuses. And the police and judicial systems need to update their systems and procedures where perpetrators of violence are punished. Patriarchal institutions and societies need to change. For the sake of our wonderful women and children
I fully agree! I'm a longstanding victim of similar abuse. This being the UK, police keep arresting ME... to protect the grape gangs! I've been calling it out for decades but police have threatened me to keep quiet.
Lots of people call out abuse and rape but nobody gives a crap. Trust me. The system does not give Justice to victims. You have to get your own Justice
Glad this lady got justice finally and also for her daughter too. She is so strong and brave. Her own husband, what a very sick man. I am reading some comments and some men still dont believe this poor lady. When there is video evidence and her husband admitted it also. I hope her and her family heal. What kind of world are we living in. 😢
I have trouble wrapping my head around how hideous this is! That poor woman endured a decade of rape without knowing what she was being subjected to! I can't believe that her husband did this to her and had pictures of his daughter naked! He should never be allowed to ever step foot out of prison! 😮😮😮😢😢😢
Thank you for your courage and generosity of transparency. 'Shifting the shame' - you have done a great service for all those of us who have found themselves as prey and then had to live with the secret.
I wasn’t aware of all that she did with Doctors trying to explain what was going on. But the viewers did. Sounds like the ‘medical professionAl’s’ blew her off. Might be some culpability there.
The doctors told her she was "unstable"... maybe doctors should stop "diagnosing" everybody with "mental illness" and actually look at symptoms and listen to patients!!!
Gisele, you bravery to say things out loud. There is never need to ever feel shame to confront the abuser. Thank you for being the strength for other victims.
I’m not going to jump on the “ feminist icon” bandwagon because in my opinion that’s an insult, this lady is a heroine plain and simple, belonging to no one but herself, and admired and revered by male and females alike. The courage she has shown is just incredible I have never heard anything like this, what an absolute monster her husband is, and all the men who joined with him in the awful crimes against this wonderful lady. I hope that she gets all the help and support that she will undoubtedly need. God bless you. ❤️❤️🇬🇧
It seems like an egoistic narcissistic behavior of husband ...trying to dominate her, humiliate her and trying to feel superior and better than spouse by bringing her down . He meant to demean her that's why all those pics and videos stored on hard drive .So sickening. Truly a monster husband
It's so frightening to think your own husband would do this to you and for so long too- but what about all those depraved men- what does it say about them?! 😮 Edit because I just found out he did stuff to his own daughter too!! 😮 The mother is setting an excellent example for her daughter the way she handled everything! 💕
I am so sad to keep seeing women being insulted, abused day in day out. When will this nonsense stop🤦🏾♀️🤷🏽♀️, May Gisele and her daughter and family find healing ❤️🩹
The husband got the full 20 years, but it’s easy to do the maths of 400yrs conveniently used as the total that the other 50 + got. Not a fair system. Convictions of theft quite often get more.
It's incredible to think that ONE security guard in a shopping centre/mall refused to let him go after catching him upskirting women and instead decided to call the police and press charges. That was when all the evidence was found. He had been caught upskirting before but let go with no further action taken. At another time he was a suspect in a rape case but the police lost or mislaid his dna sample. Such a mess . . .
I once slept over a friend’s house to be woken up by her trying to get me to sleep with her husband. I just acted like I didn’t understand what was going on. I never went back to that house. My neighbour son is now a doctor and she doesn’t know that he tried to sexually abuse me as a teenager. Stay in your own circle. Don’t settle for the wrong person, let the Lord lead you.
Why is it shocking? Is she unusually strong? I have worked in mental health and now in child welfare for my whole career. My first patient was psychotic following a gang rape just before her 18th birthday. I expect my last day of work to be about the same. If you are shocked or surprised by either the evil or the strength it’s because you are not paying attention.
Thank you Allison It appears we may be coming out of the dark ages now we are in the digital age. Many decry all of the surveillance, but as a Grandmother I take comfort knowing that business, as usual in the patriarchal construct, is being exposed! Yes, it is beyond ugly and terrifyingly sad, but high time women stood together. In my own Country the 'Me Too' movement put many men on notice for misusing their power - as we all know today, those who support sxually abusing women and children voted for a convicted sxualpredator! The pushback has been head spinning. As many women support him, it is clear to me that we women are being abused by other women! This perhaps explains why it has taken this long for the tip of this disgusting iceberg to show itself! Thank you for your work, my heart goes out to you my dear ❤
Children? Who's the father sense there were many men who violated her? Just horrible!!😢 to what happened to this woman. She's very strong on the surface but behind closed doors I couldn't imagine what she goes through daily.
@@jeanhind8198 How insane! This is what he does for his retirement!?! Thank God he finally got found out! I would think she would have been in excruciating pain from being raped again and again. And no doctor determined that she was being abused!?!
Gisele Pelicot is a most exceptional woman. I wonder how she eventually discovered what was happening to her. Her doctors show a dismal lack of insight, or curiosity about her plight. Surely her gynaecologist should have recognised abuse? I sincerely hope Gisele can live the remainder of her life in peace and security.
Gisele you are so brave, your family are so brave. my family have followed your journey throughout and we have nothing but awe for you and your family. god bless hope you can take our support to let you heal .

Makes you wonder about all the shady stuff that will never see the light of day. 🤔
I wonder about it every day.
I noticed that after mid age for a woman, doctors don't search what is wrong when you have health complaints. They don't put effort in and regard everything as peri menopausal or menopausal and all your signs of illness is seen as if 'natural'. Seriously they dont bother with aging women about why they are sore or in pain and forgetful etc.. they just send you back home or if you insist give very basic blood tests to again send you back home.
The doctors would never imagined what was happening to this lady. He only was caught when he was trying to photograph up girl's skirts and then they checked his computer.
If showing the face of the victim, the sentenced perpetrators should also be equally be made known to the public.
Some defendants argued that Dominique's consent covered Gisele's aswell,, whaaatttt?!!
Because once you marry them, lots of them think they own us.
Belies the view that many men hold worldwide that women are property and not fully human.
What monsters!
So he didn’t even get a year for each
assault .
God bless this Woman .
What an exceptionally strong and amazing woman.
She is not alone...many don't dare tell anyone, mostly from SHAME!!!!!
Hoping for jailhouse justice
The rapists said they are victims, well we can only hope..
And yet, the French judicial system only allowed a minimal sentence.
What would you expect from France? This country is doomed.
New laws should be put in place all over the world, for men who are abusive. They get away with disgusting crimes. Shame on the families that dont believe a woman when she needs help!
Don’t think you could make up something this sick
Exactly
Poor lady. I hope she can heal from this trauma.
For the YEARS of premeditation, planning, coordinating and filming, he gets 20 years? And the others all got a lot less. That doesn't send a message to the men in France.
Or the world.
The level of depravitiy. Sickening. Morals have gone down the drain. Brave woman. Prayers for her and family who had to go through this hell.
wtf .. what type of person would do that?
Unfortunately, many men hide their deviancy, many would do it if they think they would get away with it. Men are weird.
The deviant kind, which is held in secrecy.
A man who thinks he can get away with it. It’s in their nature 🤷🏼♀️
50+ men, apparently.
Men are you surprised?
Men , and women have got to start calling out abuse and rape. This is not acceptable. No excuses. And the police and judicial systems need to update their systems and procedures where perpetrators of violence are punished.
Patriarchal institutions and societies need to change. For the sake of our wonderful women and children
I fully agree! I'm a longstanding victim of similar abuse. This being the UK, police keep arresting ME... to protect the grape gangs! I've been calling it out for decades but police have threatened me to keep quiet.
Lots of people call out abuse and rape but nobody gives a crap. Trust me. The system does not give Justice to victims. You have to get your own Justice
@ yes they do. But lots don’t. Laura (Crime Analyst on UA-cam) is fighting the good fight. We all need to do “our bit” to be the change society needs
@@dusklvr sweet photo of you 🙂
20 years? That's nothing
Love and healing to Gisele, her daughter, her family 🙏🙏🙏💜💜💜💟💟💟🇬🇧
What a sick, sick thing he is… maybe karma will get him every night in prison.
How scary this horror could happen when you’re unaware and from her own husband
Glad this lady got justice finally and also for her daughter too. She is so strong and brave. Her own husband, what a very sick man. I am reading some comments and some men still dont believe this poor lady. When there is video evidence and her husband admitted it also. I hope her and her family heal. What kind of world are we living in. 😢
Males that don't believe are prob daf or doing the same thing!!!!!!
A Mans world that needs to be taken over by women!
20 years? really? very very light sentence
That poor woman. How could a man be such a cold monster.
The second crime is his sentencing of ONLY 20 years!! He should have gotten 20 years for EVERY video and EVERY photo! 😡😡
I have trouble wrapping my head around how hideous this is! That poor woman endured a decade of rape without knowing what she was being subjected to! I can't believe that her husband did this to her and had pictures of his daughter naked! He should never be allowed to ever step foot out of prison! 😮😮😮😢😢😢
What a brave and courageous woman despite everything. ❤
20 years in prison ??? That's beyond a jokes! What about her years of wasting away by that man! 🤷♂🤷♂
Capital punishment -
In public - and after reading all of this man’s crimes.
Thank you for your courage and generosity of transparency. 'Shifting the shame' - you have done a great service for all those of us who have found themselves as prey and then had to live with the secret.
Thank you Ms. Pelicot. You should be person on the year.
I wasn’t aware of all that she did with Doctors trying to explain what was going on. But the viewers did. Sounds like the ‘medical professionAl’s’ blew her off. Might be some culpability there.
I wondered about that ,unexplained side effects for yrs ,was he ever going to stop ?? ,caught by doing upskirts 😮
The doctors told her she was "unstable"... maybe doctors should stop "diagnosing" everybody with "mental illness" and actually look at symptoms and listen to patients!!!
@@LittleKitty22not everybody, just women.
Women are underserved by the medical profession, the police and men - period.
Special lady to handle that ,her children so devastating, Strength to the Family ❤
It ia very clear none of these men ever expected to be punished such arrogance such evil
Gisele we pray for you everyday, good job on getting a conviction
Gisele, you bravery to say things out loud. There is never need to ever feel shame to confront the abuser. Thank you for being the strength for other victims.
I’m not going to jump on the “ feminist icon” bandwagon because in my opinion that’s an insult, this lady is a heroine plain and simple, belonging to no one but herself, and admired and revered by male and females alike. The courage she has shown is just incredible I have never heard anything like this, what an absolute monster her husband is, and all the men who joined with him in the awful crimes against this wonderful lady. I hope that she gets all the help and support that she will undoubtedly need. God bless you. ❤️❤️🇬🇧
Why is "feminist" an insult to you? Even after seeing stuff like this, you blame feminism? Are you kidding me?
Evil himself will be shocked if he hears it🥺
🙏 prayers for her and the family.
That is just beyond awful 😢
Now they will be subject to the same abuse in Prison.
It seems like an egoistic narcissistic behavior of husband ...trying to dominate her, humiliate her and trying to feel superior and better than spouse by bringing her down . He meant to demean her that's why all those pics and videos stored on hard drive .So sickening. Truly a monster husband
Thank goodness they found all of this evidence. And that he was caught.
It's so frightening to think your own husband would do this to you and for so long too- but what about all those depraved men- what does it say about them?!
😮
Edit because I just found out he did stuff to his own daughter too!!
😮
The mother is setting an excellent example for her daughter the way she handled everything!
💕
This world is sick. No dignity. Wishing this brave woman to find peace and harmony in her own soul if it’s even possible 😢😢😢.
I am so sad to keep seeing women being insulted, abused day in day out. When will this nonsense stop🤦🏾♀️🤷🏽♀️, May Gisele and her daughter and family find healing ❤️🩹
When women start defending themselves and each other...this is still no justice by the courts, doctors, or men involved.
Should of gotten more than 20 years
This is so awful. I am speechless. This poor lady. May God be with her. I am going yo pray for her right now as my prayers will be through my tears.
The husband got the full 20 years, but it’s easy to do the maths of 400yrs conveniently used as the total that the other 50 + got. Not a fair system. Convictions of theft quite often get more.
It's incredible to think that ONE security guard in a shopping centre/mall refused to let him go after catching him upskirting women and instead decided to call the police and press charges. That was when all the evidence was found. He had been caught upskirting before but let go with no further action taken. At another time he was a suspect in a rape case but the police lost or mislaid his dna sample. Such a mess . . .
Why do they not show photos of these men?
THAT law has to be updated. That's absurd
Such a courageous resilient inspirational woman.
This is sickening beyond words.
That is horrendous!
It was a lot more than 51. Last I looked it was 70+ and those were ones found on the videos he made. Likely more out there.
We are amongst masked monsters with perfectly normal lives, having families, good education and well paid jobs.
Trust no one..
I can't even think about dating.
These short sentences are a joke! Reprehensible! France, DO BETTER!
I once slept over a friend’s house to be woken up by her trying to get me to sleep with her husband. I just acted like I didn’t understand what was going on. I never went back to that house. My neighbour son is now a doctor and she doesn’t know that he tried to sexually abuse me as a teenager. Stay in your own circle. Don’t settle for the wrong person, let the Lord lead you.
Supportive Prayers and much respect, Ms Pelicot.
🙏🧡🙏🧡🙏
Why is it shocking? Is she unusually strong? I have worked in mental health and now in child welfare for my whole career. My first patient was psychotic following a gang rape just before her 18th birthday. I expect my last day of work to be about the same. If you are shocked or surprised by either the evil or the strength it’s because you are not paying attention.
Thank you Allison
It appears we may be coming out of the dark ages now we are in the digital age. Many decry all of the surveillance, but as a Grandmother I take comfort knowing that business, as usual in the patriarchal construct, is being exposed! Yes, it is beyond ugly and terrifyingly sad, but high time women stood together.
In my own Country the 'Me Too' movement put many men on notice for misusing their power - as we all know today, those who support sxually abusing women and children voted for a convicted sxualpredator! The pushback has been head spinning. As many women support him, it is clear to me that we women are being abused by other women! This perhaps explains why it has taken this long for the tip of this disgusting iceberg to show itself!
Thank you for your work, my heart goes out to you my dear ❤
Children? Who's the father sense there were many men who violated her? Just horrible!!😢 to what happened to this woman. She's very strong on the surface but behind closed doors I couldn't imagine what she goes through daily.
They were already grown when this happened, she is a grandmother.
This abuse didn't start until the Pelicots were older, retired. Their children were grown up by then of course.
@@jeanhind8198 How insane! This is what he does for his retirement!?! Thank God he finally got found out! I would think she would have been in excruciating pain from being raped again and again. And no doctor determined that she was being abused!?!
Deeply disturbing case. Feel so sorry for this poor lady. Complete betrayal. The husband qualifies for the death penalty
I believe this as well. He essentially committed soul murder on this woman. I’m
Ashamed for him and absolutely horrified!
@@Gabbyness41 Yes. He committed murder over and over for a decade and had accomplises! What is wrong with the justice system!!!
@@suzannenorton3807 it’s scary, isn’t it? 😣
Horrific!!. So many sick people, rapists. I applaud the strong woman to testify.
Gisele Pelicot is a most exceptional woman. I wonder how she eventually discovered what was happening to her. Her doctors show a dismal lack of insight, or curiosity about
her plight. Surely her gynaecologist should have recognised abuse?
I sincerely hope Gisele can live the remainder of her life in peace and security.
Gisele you are so brave, your family are so brave. my family have followed your journey throughout and we have nothing but awe for you and your family. god bless hope you can take our support to let you heal .
Thank you Gisele, you are absolutely amazing ❤
