For the last time in this Mazan rape trial, Gisèle Pelicot spoke at the bar of the Vaucluse criminal court. She returned to what she has heard since the start of the hearing on September 2.
Shocked by certain positions of those who are being prosecuted for acts of rape against him: “I have just heard the last co-accused. I heard a lot of inaudible things. I knew what I was going to be up against in this hearing. I saw these individuals take the stand. At what point when you entered this room did Madame Pelicot give you her consent? And why not go out immediately and report it to the police? “, she first questioned.
Before continuing: “I heard different versions like “I was drugged by a glass of water, I took a zolpidem, I was controlled by my brain…. » I heard everything. It's interesting to hear them, because we wonder when they didn't hit. For me this trial is the trial of cowardice. It is high time that society opens its eyes to this macho, patriarchal society where rape is trivialized.”
