'I am a survivor': Gisèle Pelicot's powerful interview with BBC
Gisèle Pelicot waived anonymity to expose her ex-husband and about 50 men involved in assaults, pushing for social change and releasing memoirs after 2024 conviction.
- In a recent BBC interview, Pelicot revealed her ex-husband was convicted in 2024 of drugging and raping her over nearly a decade, with court videos and publication of her full name.
- Investigators established that police exposed the crimes four years ago, when officers knocked on her door, revealing her ex-husband recruited dozens of men via Coco and drugged her.
- Pelicot recalled telling her three children, making three calls that shocked Caroline; a day later, they travelled to Mazan, destroyed belongings, while David was in shock and Florian checked her wellbeing.
- After viewing court exhibits, Gisèle Pelicot said `I have decided not to be ashamed` and still wants to ask her husband why he assaulted her, seeking closure.
- Almost two years after her conviction, Pelicot revealed she has met a man and described her dissociative reaction when seeing images of herself in court exhibits.
