Overview
- Pelicot filed suit in April at the Nanterre court after Paris Match published seven photographs of her without consent in its April 17 edition.
- On June 10 the parties agreed to an out-of-court settlement that avoids a scheduled trial and redirects all compensation to charity instead of Pelicot personally.
- The €40,000 will be split between Womensafe & Children and Isofaculté, both providing multidisciplinary support to women and children affected by intrafamily violence.
- Pelicot had initially sought €30,000 in damages and the publication of her abusers’ conviction on Paris Match’s front page.
- She emerged as a feminist icon after waiving anonymity and confronting her ex-husband Dominique Pelicot and over 50 other men during her late-2024 Vaucluse trial.
