20 years of criminal imprisonment against Dominique Pelicot

The public prosecutor requested the maximum sentence, i.e. 20 years of criminal imprisonment, against Dominique Pelicot for his “despicable actions” having, for a decade, drugged, raped and had his wife raped by dozens of men recruited on the internet. Dominique Pelicot, 71, has never hidden his responsibility. In mid-September, he described himself as “rapist” and had stated: “I am guilty of what I did (…) I ruined everything, I lost everything. I have to pay.”
