Pelicot 2.0 Husband Claimed He Sold Wife for £400 a Rape
Prosecutors say the husband repeatedly drugged his wife and arranged assaults, while investigators probe whether the abuse was part of a wider network.
- In Marchtrenk, Upper Austria, a 39-year-old Austrian woman was found dead on June 26, prompting an investigation into her husband for allegedly drugging and allowing other men to rape her.
- Phone searches for 'how to drug someone' were uncovered by Investigators, along with text messages where the husband allegedly referred to his wife as 'dead meat' before his July 2 arrest.
- An autopsy revealed severe injuries, contradicting the husband's claim of an 'accident during rough sex,' while a 51-year-old neighbor has confessed to two instances of abuse.
- Prosecutors in The Wels hold the husband and the neighbor in pretrial detention, investigating charges of sexual abuse resulting in death, an offense carrying a potential sentence of 10 to 20 years.
- Dubbed 'Pelicot 2.0' by Reports, the investigation draws comparisons to France as Investigators probe what they describe as a potential 'wider rape network,' though prosecutors have stressed that a broad network remains unconfirmed.
