“He was quite discreet”, this accused wanted to hand over his own mother to Dominique Pélicot

This Tuesday, November 12, after a very short break due to the long weekend, the horror trial resumed before the Vaucluse criminal court. Ten weeks since the Mazan rape trial saw dozens of accused take the stand while 51 men were involved. Indeed, Dominique Pelicot, a 73-year-old man, is accused of having drugged his wife without her knowledge for nearly 10 years and of having raped her and having her raped by men recruited on the internet. If more than eighty different men were recognized in the videos searched on the septuagenarian's computer, fifty of them were identified by the courts.

Ten weeks for the accused to deliver their versions of the facts and for the experts to look into the psychological and psychiatric profiles of each. This Tuesday, November 12, 2024, it is the turn of the last group of seven accused to be examined by the Vaucluse criminal court. If they had to be heard in September, it was the postponement of the trial during the hospitalization of Dominique Pélicot which delayed the hearing of these seven new accused tried for rape against the person of Gisèle Pélicot.

Mazan trial: an accused suspected of having subjected his mother to the same procedure

If last week we had the half-hearted confessions of two accused, we also discovered that one of the accused, Ludovick B. was himself a victim of chemical submission and sexual assault when he was elderly 12 years old. This week, it is the profile of Charly A. who particularly questioned the lawyers and the president of the court this Tuesday, November 12, 2024. Now aged 30, he was only 21 when he went for the first time at the Pélicot home, in 2016.

Like Romain V., another accused, Charly A. would have visited six times between January 2016 and June 2020 and would therefore have raped Gisèle Pélicot the same number of times. If he was finally arrested at the beginning of 2021, he was living at that time with his mother in Carpentras. A mother to whom he could have inflicted the same treatment that Dominique Pélicot subjected his wife, Gisèle, according to the septuagenarian. Indeed, when the main accused asked him with which woman he could do the same thing, Charly A. replied his mother. Very weak traces of anxiolytics were even discovered in his mother's hair even though Dominique Pélicot allegedly provided her with medication. The latter, however, claims to have thrown them away without using them.

The profile of Charly A. analyzed by investigators

It was via video that one of the investigators spoke about Charly A's profile during the trial, as explained by Juliette Campion on her X account, a journalist present on site. If the expert describes the young man as a « solitaire »a person “very reserved” even “very modest about his sexuality”he says very little about the facts with which he is accused. Although he had to face the violence of a father when he was 18, he finally left his father's home to come back and live with his mother between the ages of 21 and 25, during which time he went to Dominique and Gisèle. Pélicot.

While the president of the court asked the expert if the young man had broached the subject of his mother during their discussions, the latter replied: “He was quite discreet… Everything was passed over in silence, his comments were quite vague.” A situation that makes you wonder if there aren't family secrets that no one wants to reveal: “I asked myself the question, because everything was so silenced… Everyone kicks in. Everything that is about intimacy and relationships is swept away” the expert then said.
