Dominique Pelicot, the man who drugged his wife for 10 years to abuse her without her consent and so that she could also be raped by dozens of other men whom he recorded, declared this Wednesday: “I should never have done this, I’m going to die like a dog“.
Through tears, he concluded his last statement before the Paris Criminal Court by addressing his ex-wife, Gisèle Pelicot, and his daughter, Caroline Darian, to whom he reiterated his apologies for all the pain caused, even though he acknowledged that “it won’t be enough“.
“She is part of what I keep deep inside me“said Dominique, visibly moved, of his life partner for 50 years, who could not hold back his tears.
