Daughter of Convicted Serial Rapist Calls for Life Imprisonment for Father
Caroline Darian, whose father Dominique Pelicot was sentenced to 20 years for drugging and orchestrating the rape of her mother, campaigns against drug-facilitated assault.
- Dominique Pelicot was convicted in December 2024 of drugging and raping his wife, Gisèle, over a decade and facilitating assaults by 50 other men, receiving a 20-year prison sentence.
- Caroline Darian, Pelicot's daughter, revealed her belief that she was also drugged, though no evidence has confirmed this claim.
- Gisèle Pelicot, who waived her anonymity, has become a feminist icon in France, inspiring national conversations about rape culture and victim advocacy.
- Caroline Darian has launched a campaign called 'Don’t Put Me Under' (#MendorsPas) to raise awareness about drug-facilitated sexual assault and support invisible victims.
- Seventeen of the 50 co-defendants in the case have appealed their convictions, with a new trial expected later this year.
