Spread the love

À the origin of the The Mazan rape case, Dominique Pélicot had first attracted attention on him for having filmed under the skirts and dresses of several customers in a store.

The images are disturbing, surreal to the eye facts that have since come to light. In a video broadcast by Paris MatchFriday, September 13, we can see the arrest of Dominique Pélicot, which occurred four years earlier, on September 12, 2020, in a supermarket. The man is now accused of having organized the gang rapes of his wife, whom he drugged, but is also suspected of the rape and murder of a young woman who was showing her apartment to Paris in 1991, and of sexual assault and attempted rape on another woman, also in the Paris region, in 1999, whose apartment he had also visited.

&Originally, the man who had been flying under the radar for three decades had been arrested on that day in September 2020 for filming with his phone hidden in a bag under the skirts and dresses of several customers at the Leclerc supermarket in Carpentras. It was the store's security guards who spotted Dominique Pélicot's ploy before one of them catches him in the act. The security guard then seizes the man's phone, who will continue to film the scene, as revealed in the images broadcast by Paris Match. “Your phone takes good shots!" the security guard first says, before informing the victim: “He was filming under your dress! […] Madam, I'm counting on you to file a complaint.”

Dominique Pélicot is handed over to the police immediately afterward. It was this arrest that allowed the police to analyze his phone and conduct searches at his home. Searches that brought to light the decade of filmed and photographed rapes suffered by the wife of the person concerned, Gisèle Pèlicot. Since September 2, and until mid-December, the so-called Mazan rape trial is taking place. Dominique Pélicot, along with 50 men aged 26 to 74, are being tried in Avignon. Most are being prosecuted for aggravated rape, which carries a sentence of up to 20 years in prison.
