The Shocking Revelation of Abusive Betrayal
In this episode, the horrific story of Dominique Pellico, who was arrested for filming up women's skirts, unfolds to reveal a far darker truth. It is revealed that for nearly a decade, Pellico had drugged and raped his wife, Giselle, while inviting over 70 men from online chat rooms to participate in her assault, all of which he recorded. Police found more than 20,000 images and videos on his devices, specifically categorized in a folder labeled 'abuse.'
