The trial is making headlines…that of Dominique Pelicot. He is accused of having organized the repeated rape of his wife over many years.
Our colleagues at Paris Match published on Friday, September 13, a document of the images of the arrest of the accused. That day, he was spotted by a supermarket security guard filming under the skirts of customers. The security guard then alerted the police, who still did not know what they were going to discover. “He was slipping under your dress!”. The images were filmed on September 12, 2020 in a supermarket in Carpentras (Vaucluse) by the telephone of Dominique Pelicot. Hidden in a bag, the device was spotted by a security guard who surprised Dominique Pelicot filming under the dresses of several women. Behind his white surgical mask, the pensioner remains silent while the security guard invites the victims to contact the police.
Following this report, investigators will analyze the pensioner’s computer equipment and discover hours of images showing rapes and sexual assaults committed by several dozen men on Gisèle Pelicot, Dominique Pelicot’s wife. This is the Mazan rape case currently being tried before the Vaucluse Criminal Court.
