The Disturbing Allegations Against Dominique Pellico
Dominique Pellico is facing serious allegations stemming from his treatment of his wife, Giselle, who was drugged and sexually assaulted over a prolonged period. Evidence suggests that he drugged Giselle and invited at least 50 men to their home to assault her while she was unconscious. Reports indicate that many of these men were either unaware of the wrongness of their actions or claimed to have assumed consent. As the legal proceedings progress, a court will determine whether these actions constitute rape, reflecting a critical moment in how such cases are treated in France.
