“My father, he no longer exists”

“My father, he no longer exists for me. My whole childhood has been erased”, confided David Pelicot. This November 2, 2020, “that day I lost my father. On September 2, 2024, I found a monster […]. We were totally devastated by this case.”

His son, Nathan, was present at the verdict on Thursday, December 19, 2024. Throughout his grandmother, Gisèle Pelicot, spoke, the young man kept his hand on her shoulder.

“This image is very moving”, his father David stressed, on RTL.

“A testament for future generations”

“This trial will remain in our memories. It must be a testament for future generations. It must be a guide for the education of our children, especially our sons.”

“The omerta is over”

“Gentlemen, it is time to react”, he continued. “The omerta is over, we must talk, we must punish.”

David Pelicot wanted to thank Gabriel Attal and Sandrine Josso who launched a parliamentary mission on chemical submission.

He also mentioned his sister Caroline, “sacrificed in this trial”, convinced of having been raped and probably drugged by their father.

“A sense of keeping our name”

If Caroline changed her name, David Pelicot does not feel the need, on the contrary: “it makes sense to keep our name with this trial. We are victims, there is no shame in keeping this name”.

Before leaving the air, David Pelicot gave news of his mother, Gisèle, “very tired” and wanted to thank, with emotion, those who supported them because “their support was most precious”.
