The Pellicot Trial: A Familial Nightmare

The trial of Dominique Pellicot, convicted of drugging and raping his wife Giselle while orchestrating abuse by dozens of men, became a focal point for discussions around the impact of domestic violence on families. Giselle, a prominent figure for waiving her anonymity, supported the fight for justice throughout the lengthy process. Her daughter, Caroline Darion, stood by her side, revealing her own trauma and belief that she too was a victim of her father's actions. The trial exposed deep familial wounds, as Caroline wrestled with the duality of her father's identity as both a caring dad and a perpetrator.
