This Thursday a new session of the trial against the 51 men accused of the rape of Gisèle Pélicotthe woman whose husband was a drug addict and offered to be sexually assaulted. For the first time, the room saw three videos and 10 photographs of some violations suffered by Gisèle. We see the victim unconscious, without making gestures or moving. Above her, two men without limits.
Sources from LaSexta who had access to the room where the trial took place assure that “it is difficult for anyone who has seen these images to say that they are consensual scenes.” To the journalists who were in the room It was difficult for us to keep our gaze on these screens,” she says, and adds that those who removed it are “the accused”: “The majority did not look at these images and covered their ears,” describes the journalist. On the other hand, Gisèle “did not take her eyes off the scenes.”
The victim had to relive these moments of horror in a room previously emptied of all public, at the request of the victim, and to which journalists were given access.
In one of the videos you can see how Jacques C. raped Gisèle Pelicot. After that, the defense and prosecution lawyers asked him if he respected women and he did not hesitate to answer “yes.” To this, he added that “no”, he considered himself a rapist and described the video as “a scene of debauchery“.
Another of the accused, Lionel R., admitted the facts. He is 72 years old and assured that he raped Giselebut he said it was a “involuntary rape“, that’s to say describes what happened as a game between the victim and her husband. The accused said that for this reason he never asked for her consent.
The accused’s statements during this trial session contradicted what he said Dominique PelicotGisele’s husband, and said they were not asked to use condoms or provide evidence that they were not infected with HIV, as the Avignon monster claimed this week.
