A book by Caroline Darian adds further shocking details of the years of abuse by Dominique Pelicot and many others
Summary
Caroline Darian’s book reveals her father’s abuse of her mother, including drugging and inviting strangers to rape her.
Darian also discovered disturbing photographs of herself, leading her to question whether she was also a victim of her father’s abuse. “How could he have photographed me in the middle of the night without waking me? Did he also drug me? Worse still, did he abuse me?”
The trial of Dominique Pelicot and 50 other men accused of raping his wife continues, with expert testimony suggesting the perpetrators were not ordinary men.
In court, expert psychiatrist Laurent Layet, who interviewed 20 of the accused – including Pelicot three times – said they could not be described as “ordinary men…because that would be tantamount to saying that all men are capable of such acts.”
Ordinary men are doing these things. Not all ordinary men, but ordinary men nonetheless. To call them anything but ordinary is to make out like they're some special breed but they're just ordinary men.
Some media unerlined the fact that the only shared trait between all of them (includes the ones "not found") is that they are men. Not rich, poor, crazy or anything, they are men, so the bear it is
No, the only two things they share is that they're men, and that they're rapists. Both of those factors are important. Not all men are rapists, and not all rapists are men.
