Besides the case of Dominique Pelicot, it is perhaps the sentences requested by the attorneys general for his 50 co-defendants which will be interesting. Indeed, the vast majority of these men deny any intention of rape, taking refuge behind the status of victim, trapped, manipulated, by Dominique Pelicot.
In this situation, the attorneys general will have to rely on other elements to request sentences which will be individual. Namely, elements of personality, their criminal record, the conditions in which they came to the couple’s home, the alleged facts, etc.
Some came six times over a long period, others exchanged numerous messages before coming to Mazan, others only came once after brief messages.
All face a sentence of 20 years in prison for aggravated rape. Only one, Joseph C., appears for sexual assault and risks up to seven years in prison.
