00:00...to bring to light the sentence for this macro-trial
00:05on the violations under his chemical submission to Giselle Pellicott.
00:09Dominique Pellicott was given 20 years, the ex-husband of this woman.
00:16The sentences could go up to 20 years for each of the 51 accused.
00:21The sentences are being announced at this time.
00:23Let's remember the case a little.
00:25It has become a worldwide emblematic case because this man
00:29sedated his partner so that other men would come to have relations with them.
00:37Yes, from 2011 to 2020.
00:40These facts are known because women had reported in a bar
00:45and also in public transport that this man was going and filming her and taking pictures of her.
00:49They make searches after registering this man's home
00:52and find multiple images of the rapes
00:56to his wife, this woman who was actually the wife of this man
01:01who was married for years and had a family with this rapist.
01:06And it explains that there are more than 51 men involved
01:09ranging from 24 to 72 years old.
01:14For now, the sentences are not known to these men who were part of the rapes.
01:19They were identified.
01:20Yes, they were identified and declared in their majority.
01:23It is said that there are more than 70.
01:24In fact, they were able to confirm 51 or at least 51
01:29were able to be part of this macro-trial that was carried out at the end of the year.
01:33It was deduced that he did it for money.
01:35Yes, in some cases he did it for money.
01:39In others for perversion, right?
01:41In others for perversion, yes.
01:43He contacted them through a page,
01:45published the images of his wife being raped.
01:49Let's remember that they were going to sleep,
01:51he sedated her, contacted the men to make sessions or appointments
01:56so that they could abuse their partner
01:58and then shared the images through a website.
02:02This happened between 2011 and 2020.
02:06When did the wife find out about this?
02:08She found out a few years ago.
02:10And the striking thing about the case is that only this year,
02:13when the trial begins, she decides to make it public,
02:16which for me is the difference here.
02:18In general, they are usually private trials.
02:21What she tells is that,
02:22and for me it makes it a symbol of feminism in this 2024,
02:26because she says that shame, or it was her motto in one of her statements,
02:30shame has to change sides, right?
02:33Because in general it is the victims who suffer
02:36the re-victimization, the humiliation of reporting the facts
02:39to which they were unfortunately subjected.
02:42That is why she wanted the whole process of this trial to be known
02:47with not only her statements.
02:49Well, she was chosen as the woman of the year
02:52by Time magazine for this situation,
02:55with a lot of courage, not only with her statements,
02:58but also with a letter from the daughter
03:01that Dominique and Giselle Pellicot have in common,
03:05who, of course, finds out about this trial.
03:07Imagine.
03:08You know what it must be like to find out what your dad did to your mom?
03:12Of course, they were already separated after she found out about this situation,
03:17as a result of the raids carried out by the Avignon police
03:21there in the southeast of France.
03:23Well, the sentence is known, 20 years for Dominique Pellicot
03:27for systematically raping both her and another 51 accused,
03:31her wife.
03:32We are talking about Giselle Pellicot in France.
