Florian Pélicot did not hesitate to talk about an “identity crisis”, expressing his desire to take a paternity test to find out if Dominique Pélicot was indeed his father, even though his mother had an extramarital affair at the time of his birth. “It would be a relief not to be Dominique Pélicot's son. […] “It was part of my personal reconstruction.” Florian Pélicot also called on his father's co-accused to take “their responsibilities”, before addressing his children, nephews and nieces: “Our children must be proud to bear this name Pélicot. Often, in crime stories, we remember the name of the bad guy, but here, it's Gisèle Pélicot that we remember."
Before Florian, the eldest of the Pélicots, David, had spoken. “I lost a man who, like my mother, gave me a good education, values, a backbone,” he explained, not hesitating to mention their complicity or the admiration of some of his friends for his father. “My whole childhood has disappeared, it was like erased,” he confided.
The tone rose between the son and the father when David called Dominique Pélicot to tell “the truth” about his sister, who is certain that she was also drugged and raped, but also her own son, whom Dominique Pélicot allegedly asked to “play doctor”. “If you still have a little humanity, you hear, I want you to tell the truth” on the actions you have taken towards my sister, who suffers every day and who will suffer all her life,” he declared, as reported by franceinfo, adding: “I will only go through once [to the bar] and I have no time to waste: on my son, tell us what you have done!” From his box, Dominique Pélicot reacted: “Nothing, I have done nothing to anyone! To none of the children and grandchildren!” Nothing!”
Last to speak, Caroline Darian, the daughter of the Pélicot couple, confided that she “considers herself the great forgotten of this trial”. “I know that I was sedated. This is not a hypothesis, it is a reality. “I know it,” she said, before emphasizing: “The only difference between Gisèle and me is tangible and implacable evidence. My life has been suspended. I am committed to all the victims in France, because the “Gisèle Pelicot” [understand the victims for whom there is evidence, editor's note] “doesn't exist, it's 0.5%.” Caroline Darian created the association #MendorsPas to help victims of chemical submission.
