“I was looking for a sex date. I don’t think in those moments,” defends Vincent C. at the Mazan rape trial

Before, Vincent C. was a carpentry installer, an alcoholic, a joint smoker, an occasional cocaine user and already convicted of domestic violence. Today, he is 43 years old and appears detained before the Vaucluse criminal court at the Mazan rape trial. In Dominique Pelicot’s computer, two files were opened in his name, “night of 27 10 19 with vincent 30 years old” et “night of 11 01 20 with vincent”.

On Wednesday, October 9, Vincent C. was first questioned about his personality and he was very moved when talking about the brutal death of his great-grandmother, before his eyes as an 8-year-old child. Afterwards, he was questioned on the merits. “Do you admit to the acts of aggravated rape with which you are accused? », President Roger Arata asked him. « Non »he replied.

The Coco.fr site, for Vincent C., was especially on Saturday evenings, when he returned home after the closing of his village bistro. “I was looking for people nearby. I wasn’t attracted to the forums, I wasn’t there to chat for hours and hours. » With Dominique Pelicot, he says, “It was very quick. I connected and, half an hour later, the appointment was made.” It was good, Vincent C. lived “five minutes from Mazan”. And then, he said, he didn’t have much choice: “It’s not a supermarket either, eh, Coco! » Gisèle Pelicot gets up and leaves the courtroom, accompanied by the psychologist who assists her throughout the proceedings.

The rest appears in Dominique Pelicot’s files. In the first: “Vincent, forced blowjob”, “Me in front”, “Vincent cunni fuck”. In the second, three months later, “Vincent fucks and sucks”, “Vincent and me rotating fuck”.

“Where did I end up?” »

Questioning of the president.

« Did Madame Pelicot wake up at some point?

— Non.

—Did she show anything?

— Non.

— Was she able to express her consent?

— Non.

— When you leave, after the first time, what do you say to yourself?

— Where did I end up? I had seen couple things, but not like this.

He clarifies his thoughts:

— I say to myself: “That’s weird”. I don’t say to myself: “It’s not going well”.

— You are not wondering about having contact with the lady?

— I was looking for a sex date. I don’t think in those moments. »

A M^e Antoine Camus, one of Gisèle Pélicot’s two lawyers, who asks him to clarify what he means by: “I don’t recognize the facts,” the accused explains that he recognizes the “events”but not the “rape”. “I did not intend to rape Madame. To be invited by the husband, for me, is to be invited by the couple. When the husband says to me: “She has gone to bed, we are going to wake her up”, That takes away the question of consent for me — Don’t you know that consent by proxy doesn’t exist? — I didn’t know. » Vincent C. adds: “At that moment, I think I satisfied the couple more than myself. »
