Dominique Pelicot, a 72-year-old Frenchman, orchestrated a rape ring, drugging his wife Gisele and inviting strangers to sexually assault her. Over nine years, more than 20,000 photos and videos of the abuse were captured. Gisele only learned the truth in 2020 when police uncovered the evidence.
I’m looking for a pervert accomplice to abuse my sleeping wife.' That is just one of a torrent of depraved messages sent by Dominique Pelicot to dozens of men he invited to sexually abuse his wife Gisele - each episode of which he meticulously curated and catalogued over a period of nine years.
The 72-year-old Frenchman - dubbed the 'Monster of Avignon' - has confessed to orchestrating the sick rape ring in which he used an online chat room to source a slew of 'recruits' to take part in his twisted fantasies. Once an appropriate accomplice had been vetted and primed, Mr Pelicot would drug his wife with powerful tranquilisers and invite the stranger to their family home to defile the paralysed, snoring victim for the camera. Police uncovered more than 20,000 photos and images of Gisele being sexually assaulted by a total of 72 strangers - 50 of whom have been identified - as she lay comatose in bed. It was from those officers in 2020, almost a decade after her torturous ordeal began in 2011, that Gisele learned the dark truth. For years she had witnessed her health deteriorating, her worsening memory loss leading her to believe she was suffering from Alzheimer's disease while she battled what seemed to be a growing abundance of gynaecological problems. Now more than four years after Mr Pelicot was first arrested for filming up the skirts of female shoppers in a supermarket, Gisele's abusive spouse and his co-accused are set to face justice. With the court in Avignon set to deliver its verdict this week, the following snapshot of just some of the messages he exchanged with his wife's abusers have been reveale
