three voices that tell of “a destroyed family”

Their father, Dominique Pelicot, is now considered one of the greatest perverts of this century. Support for their mother is pouring in from all over the world. They lost everything. Monday, November 18, David, the eldest son, Caroline, the middle daughter, and Florian, the youngest, testified before the Vaucluse criminal court. Three votes. Three abysses of distress. Three solitudes, above all.

Everything about David Pelicot, 50, evokes his father. The massive body, the wide neck, the outline of the hair, and even the inflection of the eyebrows. On November 2, 2020, after his sister and before his younger brother, he received a call from his mother, announcing that his father had handed her over to dozens of strangers to rape her. The three children took the same train the next morning to reach the Carpentras police station (Vaucluse) where their mother was waiting for them. Together, they emptied Mazan's house of anything that reminded them of their father. Gisèle Pelicot returned to Paris with them, “she only had a suitcase and her dog”, remembers David. Back home, he collapsed in his wife's arms: “My father no longer exists. »

Of “this man”, as he now calls it, and to whom he was so close, David Pelicot discovered during the investigation that he had in his computer a photo of his wife, Céline, naked and pregnant with their twins, taken without his knowledge at their home. He also learned that “this man” had insistently suggested to his grandson, then aged 3, to “play doctor” (a complaint is pending). “But how could you do such a thing? If you still have a little humanity left, tell us the truth! », he shouts to her. ” Nothing ! Nothing ! I haven't done anything to my children or my grandchildren! »thunders Dominique Pelicot. His son turns away. “This trial is not only that of Gisèle Pelicot. I hope you won't be mad at me, Mom, for saying that. It is that of an entire destroyed family. »

Florian succeeds him at the helm. Same fine face, same slender figure as her mother. “You said she was a saint. But you are the devil himself, in fact! Our family has completely exploded. How do we do it? What are the instructions for use? », he says to the man in the box. The youngest of the siblings, the investigation revealed that his father had also photographed his wife, Aurore, naked in the bathroom, and made a photomontage with his penis on the young woman's body. Her couple did not survive the revelations, Aurore became a civil party on her side.
