SHAME MUST GO BACK TO SENDER
The Morning Standard|November 08, 2024
Between the years 2011 and 2020, a French woman named Gisele Pelicot was sedated on multiple occasions by her husband Dominique Pelicot, who would invite a total of 72 men to rape her as he filmed the crimes.

SHAME MUST GO BACK TO SENDER

These assaults became known to the police when they investigated him for taking upskirt videos at a supermarket in 2020. Since then, Gisele Pelicot has become the central figure in a court case that has rocked France.

For someone who so recently had to come to terms with a history of violence that she wasn't even aware was happening to her (even though she was experiencing numerous trauma-related symptoms), she has shown incredible courage in taking on and testifying in such a high-profile case.

"The shame isn't ours to feel; it's theirs," she has been quoted as saying in court.
