“He is a very kind person, very sociable, very empathetic”: when the accused in the Mazan rape trial are supported by their companions

This “difficult childhood” seems to be a common point between several accused. This is particularly the case of Thierry P., prosecuted for “aggravated rape” of Gisèle Pelicot, which occurred in July 2020.He did not have an easy childhood, because he saw his mother destroy herself with alcohol and had an absent father, who started his life again without his children.“, recalls his ex-wife, Corinne M.

Simone M., for his part arrested in April 2021, can also count on his partner, Alexandra R.: “He told me the facts and I got pregnant afterwards. I wanted this child despite that. He is a very kind person, very sociable, very empathetic. He often cooks, cleans and even drives the tractor to his father’s house.“, she said.
