Convicted Rapist Dominique Pelicot to Be Questioned in 1990s Cold Cases

Pelicot, serving 20 years for orchestrating violent crimes against his ex-wife, faces interrogation linked to a murder and attempted rape tied to his DNA evidence.

Dominique Pelicot, 72, is currently serving a 20-year sentence for drugging, raping, and facilitating the rape of his ex-wife over a decade.
He is being questioned on January 30 by the cold case unit in Nanterre regarding two unresolved crimes from the 1990s in the Paris region.
The cases involve the 1991 murder of a 23-year-old real estate agent, Sophie Narme, and a 1999 attempted rape of another real estate agent in Villeparisis.
DNA evidence from the 1999 attempted rape scene was linked to Pelicot during investigations into his other crimes, leading to his indictment in 2022.
Pelicot has denied involvement in the murder and retracted initial admissions regarding the 1999 attempted rape, complicating the investigations.
