Convicted Rapist Dominique Pelicot Investigated for Cold Cases and New Assault Allegations
Dominique Pelicot, already serving a 20-year sentence, faces scrutiny for a series of crimes spanning decades, including murder, attempted rape, and new accusations from 1995 and 2004.
- Dominique Pelicot, convicted in 2024 for drugging and assaulting his ex-wife, is now under investigation for two cold cases from the 1990s involving real estate agents.
- He is accused of the 1991 murder and rape of Sophie Narme and a 1999 attempted rape, both involving a similar modus operandi including the use of ether and false identities.
- DNA evidence links Pelicot to the 1999 crime scene, though he denies intent to rape or murder, describing the incident as a 'chamaillerie.'
- New allegations have surfaced, including a 1995 sexual assault of a 12-year-old girl and a 2004 attack on another real estate agent, showing potential links to his earlier crimes.
- Investigators are exploring whether Pelicot could be connected to additional unsolved cases, with patterns suggesting the possibility of a serial offender.
