Jean-Pierre MaréchalA 63-year-old former truck driver known as “Rasmus” is the sole defendant in the trial against Dominique Pelicot that he did not rape his wife, Gisèle. During his appearance, he admitted that he “he was not capable of raping another woman“that she was not his own wife.
After meeting via a pornographic site, Maréchal learned Pélicot’s methods. He admitted that some of the images published on this page had “affected” him. Following their advice, he gave his wife anti-anxiety drugs to rape her together. However, the first time he tried, Pélicot found Maréchal’s wife awake and conscious.
“I was very scared, I hadn’t given anything to my wife… He was not happy to have come in vain“, he confessed. Finally, he gave in and Pélicot went to rape his wife 12 times. Until the day she, who had never reported him, woke up in the middle of a rape.
“When he discovered me, I was a little shocked, I wanted to apologize to the lady, but I left knowing there would be consequences.“, said Pélicot, who was already afraid of getting caught, which is why Jean Pierre asked him to delete all the conversations they had had so that there would be no trace.
But his student wanted to continue, “taking the initiative to stop when he wanted me to come back“, according to Pélicot. This is what is claimed by the man who admitted on Tuesday to having raped Gisèle even with her grandchildren at home.
