The second week of the Mazan rape trial begins this Monday, September 9, before the Vaucluse departmental criminal court with a notable absentee. Dominique Pelicot, the main accused and husband of the victim, left the courtroom to seek treatment.
The lawyer for the main accused said that her client was ill at the start of the hearing. She therefore requested an exemption so that Dominique Pelicot, who suffers from intestinal pain and a urinary infection, could receive treatment.
“He wants to be there tomorrow because it is an important day,” the lawyer said. Dominique Pélicot is due to be heard this Tuesday.
The president granted the exemption to the accused, who left the dock to receive treatment.
Psychologists and psychiatrists at the bar
This Monday, September 9, Dominique Pelicot’s personality will be dissected. Several relatives of the family, including the two sons of the main accused, will be heard in the morning. Dominique Pelicot has also asked that his sister be heard.
Throughout the day, three expert psychologists and psychiatrists will be at the bar, to decipher this man with two faces. If the psychiatric expertise does not reveal mental illnesses, Dominique Pelicot suffers from several sexual deviances: voyeurism, fetishism, domination, sexual sadism… A man whose criminological dangerousness is therefore judged to be very high.
