Forming a couple with Gisèle Pélicot, Dominique Pélicot is a man with a dark past. The Mazan rape case will allow investigators to make discoveries about his background.
“He is friendly, polite, courteous, well dressed, clean on himself“. When Florence Rault, victims' lawyer, talks about Dominique Pélicot, it seems difficult to believe that she is portraying the man responsible for the horrors committed on his wife.
But who is he really? The Mazan rape case allowed investigators to make discoveries about the main person involved. A case dating from 1999 will notably resurface.
When he poses as a client of a real estate agency, the man commits the irreparable to the agent, then only 20 years old.
During a visit, he asks the young woman to measure the dimensions of a room. And when her back is turned, the nightmare begins. “That's when he'll pounce on her. He attacks her from behind. There is the element of surprise, which means that she is completely paralyzed. He grabs her by the throat with his arm, she suffocates and can no longer breathe“, says Florence Rault.
And when the agent feels a cold metallic object under her throat, she knows she no longer has a choice. From that moment on, she complies and does everything he asks of her.
