“The daughter of convicted French rapist Dominique Pelicot said Thursday she had filed a complaint against her father accusing him of sexual abuse, after he was jailed for repeatedly sedating and raping her mother Gisele Pelicot along with dozens of strangers. Caroline Darian, whose parents are now divorced, filed the complaint on Wednesday, accusing Dominique Pelicot of drugging her and committing ‘sexual abuse’ against her, she told AFP. She said she took legal action as a ‘message to all victims’ of sexual abuse who were drugged not to give up. Darian has said she suspects Dominique Pelicot abused her too after pictures of her naked and unconscious body were found among the detailed records he kept of his crimes. Dominique Pelicot, 72, has always denied he abused his daughter.” (03/06/25)
