After a week's break, the trial of Dominique Pelicot and his 50 co-defendants resumes Monday, November 4 before the Vaucluse criminal court. Among the seven defendants whose cases will be detailed this week is a man whose adolescence was marked by a criminal, now sentenced to life imprisonment, who already used chemical submission.
INFO MIDI LIBRE. “How do these childhood traumas lead you to have more confused references in terms of sexuality? It’s a question that we inevitably ask ourselves.” Lawyer for several defendants in the Mazan trial, which resumes Monday, November 4 before the Vaucluse criminal court, the president of the bar Emile-Henri Biscarat, from the Carpentras bar, will discuss in detail this week the past of one of them, whose case will be studied with six others until Friday.
Among the 50 co-defendants of Dominique Pelicot, who admitted to having drugged his wife Gisèle for ten years to rape her and deliver her unconscious to strangers, several say they were victims of sexual violence in their childhood. Ludovick B., a 41-year-old warehouse worker, claims to have been preyed as a teenager by a sex criminal who already practiced chemical submission more than twenty years ago.
Gisèle Pelicot abused in Yvelines at Christmas 2019
Addicted to cannabis, fan of “overflowing sexuality”which led him to have sexual relations several times a day with his companions, to multiply marital infidelities and recourse to prostitutes, Ludovick B. came to abuse Gisèle Pelicot not in Mazan, but in Yvelines, in Caroline's villa . The Pelicots' daughter had lent her parents her house for the 2019 Christmas holidays, without suspecting what was going to happen there.
Unmasked by the videos filmed that evening by Dominique Pelicot, incarcerated for ten months, Ludovick B. will reveal during the investigation that he was the victim when he was 12 years old of a criminal tried twice at the Yvelines assizes.
A fire captain at the Trappes barracks
Fabrice Motch, 58, was then a volunteer fire captain, and supervised teenagers dreaming of becoming fire soldiers at the Trappes barracks departmental school. On September 15, 2007, alerted by a boy of around twelve years old, who had locked himself in the toilets of the barracks, the police arrived around 10 p.m. and arrested him, digital camera in hand, in a room where an unconscious teenager sleeps.
In the device, we find photos and films of boys, abused by the officer. Three of them say that they had passed grueling physical tests in the morning, and that the captain had given them pills intended to avoid pain and aches: Rohypnol, and Stilnox, a drug that Dominique Pelicot is also suspected of. for using it on Gisèle.
Seven students and his partner's children
Awakened by the caresses, one of the boys managed to raise the alarm before things went any further. After the seizure of child pornography images at his home, Frédéric Motch admitted to having abused seven student firefighters, but also his partner's two children, between 2001 and 2007.
Ludovick B. was a friend of one of the latter's sons, and slept at their house several times. He claims today to have been raped by the firefighter, who also forced him, between the ages of 9 and 12, to have relations, in his presence, with his young friend.
A procedure under investigation in Versailles
“A procedure is currently being investigated in Versailles, Fabrice Motch has been heard, and I hope that we will one day go before the Vaucluse criminal court, where my client will this time be a victim, and not accused ” underlines Me Biscarat. “He himself says that he does not understand how he can find himself in the position of the rapist, after having suffered this.”
Before the investigating judge, Ludovick B. also explained that Dominique Pelicot “his had frightened him because his stature had reminded him of that of the man who had sexually assaulted him.
Sentenced to 15 years, then life
It must be said that Fabrice Motch has cause for concern: sentenced in May 2010 to 15 years in prison for the rapes suffered by the young firefighters and the children of his partner, he received life imprisonment in September 2017, still facing the Yvelines Assize Court, for murder.
During the investigation into the rapes, his own sister revealed that in 1996 he had killed a mechanic, Philippe Pico, with the help of his brother Lionel and his mistress, Yannick Lannou, then married to this mechanic.
“Cut up in the kitchen, like in Santa Claus is trash”
The latter will drug her husband before Fabrice Motch kills him with a knife: here again is chemical submission, associated with a crime. “We cut it up in the kitchen, like in Santa Claus is trash” will explain at the trial Lionel Motch, sentenced to 17 years of imprisonment, while Yannick Lannou receives 25 years. From 1996 to this confession in 2008, no one was worried about the disappearance of Philippe Pico.
Two years after this trial, of which he was certainly aware, Ludovick B. in turn took action on Gisèle Pelicot. Coincidence, influence, determinism or easy excuse: the sequence of all these crimes, where chemical submission appears, deserves in any case to be analyzed.
