Page Description
Discover the story behind the trial that exposed deep societal issues in France, sparking outrage and debate about justice, power, and accountability.
The Rape Trial That Shook France to Its Core
The case of Gisèle Pelicot concluded in December 2024 is seared into the memory of anyone who followed its horrific detail playing out in a French court. This brave woman waived her anonymity to give evidence during the trial of her husband and other men who routinely drugged and raped her.
But her abusers were only caught by chance thanks to French policemen who had been called to an incident at a local supermarket where Pelicot’s husband had been spotted illegally filming women. They seized his phone and the enormity and horror of what they found next led to last year’s trial and convictions.
Some trials go beyond the courtroom and strike at the heart of an entire society. This was one of them. What began as a legal case against powerful men turned into a national reckoning on abuse of power, justice, and the treatment of victims in France.
The course of the trial, the controversial rulings, and the public outrage made this one of the most exceptional and influential cases in French history. What did this case reveal about the justice system? How did society respond? And what are the lasting consequences for future victims seeking justice?
This page provides in-depth insights and a comprehensive collection of videos to understand why this trial sent shockwaves through France – and why its impact is still felt today.
De Verkrachtingszaak die Frankrijk op zijn Grondvesten Deed Schudden
De zaak van Gisèle Pelicot, die in december 2024 werd afgerond, staat in het geheugen gegrift van iedereen die de gruwelijke details heeft gevolgd die in een Franse rechtbank aan het licht kwamen. Deze moedige vrouw zag af van haar anonimiteit om te getuigen tijdens het proces tegen haar man en andere mannen die haar regelmatig drogeerden en verkrachtten.
Maar haar misbruikers werden alleen bij toeval gepakt dankzij Franse politieagenten die waren gebeld voor een incident in een plaatselijke supermarkt, waar Pelicots echtgenoot was betrapt op het illegaal filmen van vrouwen. Ze namen zijn telefoon in beslag en de omvang en gruwel van wat ze vervolgens aantroffen, leidde tot het proces en de veroordelingen van eind 2024.
Sommige rechtszaken overstijgen de rechtbank en raken de ziel van een samenleving. Deze verkrachtingszaak deed precies dat. Wat begon als een proces tegen machtige mannen groeide uit tot een nationale schokgolf over machtsmisbruik, gerechtigheid en hoe slachtoffers worden behandeld in Frankrijk.
Het verloop van de rechtszaak, de controversiële uitspraken en de publieke verontwaardiging maken dit tot een van de meest uitzonderlijke en invloedrijke zaken in de Franse geschiedenis. Wat betekende deze zaak voor de rechtsstaat? Hoe reageerde de samenleving? En wat zijn de gevolgen voor toekomstige slachtoffers die gerechtigheid zoeken?
Deze pagina biedt diepgaande inzichten en een uitgebreide verzameling video’s om te begrijpen waarom dit proces zoveel losmaakte – en waarom het nog steeds nazindert.
Gisèle Pelicot Opens Up About Surviving Years of Secret Abuse | The Interview
13 feb 2026 The Interview | A Podcast From the New York Times
In one of the most heinous sexual-abuse stories in history, Gisèle Pelicot was drugged and raped repeatedly by the person she trusted most in the world, her husband, who also invited dozens of men into their bedroom to rape her while she was heavily sedated.
In 2024, a trial of Pelicot’s abusers began. Even then, we might never have known her name. But in her new memoir, “A Hymn to Life: Shame Has to Change Sides,” she explains why she decided to forgo anonymity and make the trial public. That choice made her a feminist icon, inspiring women all over France to rally around her and to demand change to France’s consent laws.

Dominique Pelicot : un mari, un violeur #cdanslair 17.09.2024
18 sep 2024
“Je suis un violeur comme ceux qui sont dans cette salle”. Ce sont les mots prononcés ce mardi par Dominique Pelicot, principal accusé dans l’affaire des viols de Mazan, qui n’était plus apparu à l’audience depuis mercredi dernier pour des raisons de santé. De retour ce mardi dans l’enceinte du tribunal où il est jugé pour avoir drogué et fait violer Gisèle Pelicot pendant dix ans, il a reconnu lors de son interrogatoire la totalité des faits, a demandé pardon à son ex-épouse, mais aussi chargé les 50 autres accusés qui “savaient tous, ils ne peuvent pas dire le contraire”. “Maintenant, je veux me battre pour que tout le monde comprenne qu’elle n’est rien d’autre qu’une victime dans ce dossier”, a-t-il notamment ajouté.
À la sortie de la matinée d’audience, le public, nombreux, a applaudi Gisèle Pelicot dans la salle des pas perdus du tribunal d’Avignon. Une femme devenue le symbole en France de la lutte contre les violences sexuelles. Samedi, des milliers de personnes se sont rassemblées dans plusieurs villes du pays pour apporter leur soutien à celle qui a été droguée par son mari et violée par des hommes recrutés sur Internet, et qui a pris la décision de tenir les audiences publiques car “la honte doit changer de camp”. Lundi, émue, elle avait pris la parole pour remercier toutes les personnes qui lui ont témoigné “leur soutien depuis le début de cette épreuve”. “Grâce à vous tous j’ai la force de mener ce combat jusqu’au bout”.
Un procès hors normes qui met en cause 51 hommes pour 92 faits de viol sur une même victime et interroge sur l’étendue des violences sexuelles dans la société : les hommes sur le banc des accusés viennent de tous milieux, de toute classe sociale, de tout âge, de toute profession. Sur les réseaux sociaux, la phrase “Not All Men” (pas tous les hommes) est reprise par des hommes qui semblent avoir peur des conséquences de la médiatisation de cette affaire mais aussi par des hommes et des femmes pour dénoncer des violences vécues. Une affaire qui secoue depuis une semaine la société dans son ensemble et questionne également la définition du viol par la loi, jugée souvent par certains trop restrictive car omettant la notion du consentement et à la mise en place de réponses structurelles.

Gisèle Pelicot: The Altar of Vice
7 nov 2024 RedHanded Podcast Episodes 👻
Of the 83 men who had raped Gisèle Pelicot, she recognised only two faces. One was a neighbour – and the other was her beloved husband of over 50 years. Dominique Pelicot had been using a chatroom to invite total strangers over to assault his wife, without her knowledge, for almost a decade. And she had had no idea.
We peel back every layer of this unfathomable case: the shockwaves it sent through France and the Pelicot family; the rapists’ jaw-dropping attitudes to their crimes; Gisèle’s astonishing bravery in speaking up in her 2024 trial; and even evidence linking Dominique Pelicot to two cold cases – one a brutal murder. It’s time to meet the Monster of Avignon.

Pelicot’s ex-husband jailed for 20 years in French mass rape trial
19 dec 2024
It’s more than fifty years since Gisele Pelicot married the man convicted for repeatedly raping her and enlisting strangers to abuse her while she lay drugged in their home.
Dominique Pelicot’s horrific abuse spanned more than a decade – targeting not just his unsuspecting wife but other family members and strangers, too.
Dominique Pelicot was first arrested in 2010 for filming up women’s skirts in a shopping centre near their Paris home.
He was released, and the following year began drugging his wife.
But it’s not until 2020 that the footage was discovered by police after they arrested Dominique for upskirting again.
They seized his laptop and found thousands of other photos and videos of him and others raping and abusing Gisele.
The world has been gripped by the trial that followed and led to the conviction of Dominique and 50 other men.

“Aanvankelijk wilde ik niet gezien worden, niet bekend zijn. Ik wilde me afzonderen, en dat heb ik een tijdje ook gedaan. Maar een proces achter gesloten deuren zou een enorm cadeau zijn geweest voor de daders.” Dat vertelt de Franse Gisèle Pelicot over haar schokkende verkrachtingszaak, in een interview met Nieuwsuur.
Het is de zaak die Frankrijk op z’n kop zette: het proces van de 72-jarige Pelicot, die haar verkrachters in de rechtszaal recht in de ogen keek. Pelicot werd bijna tien jaar lang door haar echtgenoot gedrogeerd en verkracht door hemzelf en door tientallen andere mannen, in haar eigen huis.

De zaak rond Gisèle Pelicot behoort tot de meest ontwrichtende zedenzaken van de afgelopen jaren. Jarenlang werd de Franse vrouw door haar eigen echtgenoot Dominique Pelicot gedrogeerd, waarna hij tientallen mannen uitnodigde om haar te verkrachten terwijl zij buiten bewustzijn was.
In deze aflevering bespreken Royce en Annemiek de onthulling van deze gruwelijke misdaden, nadat Dominique in een supermarkt werd betrapt terwijl hij stiekem onder de rokken van vrouwen filmde. Dat incident leidde tot een groot politieonderzoek waarbij duizenden foto’s en video’s werden ontdekt. Ze bespreken hoe de politie uiteindelijk tientallen daders wist te identificeren en staan stil bij de opmerkelijke keuze van Gisèle om het proces openbaar te laten plaatsvinden, met één duidelijke boodschap: de schaamte moet van kant wisselen.
Tot slot beantwoorden Royce en Annemiek een luisteraarsvraag: heeft hun bekendheid weleens invloed gehad in de rechtbank, in positieve of negatieve zin?
