A 71-year-old former employee of France's state-owned power utility firm EDF is accused of allowing strangers to rape his wife after drugging her, an accusation that has shaken the nation to its core. His trial began on Monday.
In addition to the principal suspect, fifty additional males who were found online are also undergoing trial in Avignon. Of the 72 males who reported 92 rapes to the police, 51 have been positively identified. The 72-year-old woman was highly sedated and unaware of the assault for ten years, according to her attorneys, and the males, who are all between the ages of 26 and 74, are accused of raping her.
When the mother appeared in court with her three kids in tow, she insisted on holding the trial in private as "her attackers would have wanted" it to happen.
The defendant, Dominique P., was initially observed by the police in september 2020 when it was discovered that he had been recording three women's skirts. Then, on his computer, the cops discovered a ton of images and videos of his wife, most of them showing her in a fetal position and largely incoherent.
Police discovered, after more inquiry, that the defendant had arranged for people to visit their house and have sex with his wife via talks on the now-closed coco.fr website. Dominique P. admitted to the investigators that he had given his wife strong tranquilizers, including the anxiety-lowering medication Temesta.
The abuse began in paris in 2011 and persisted for a long time. Along with participating in the rapes, the husband also encouraged the other guys he invited into his home and recorded them. While some guys participated up to six times, the majority of men only did so once.
Dominique P., who claimed that at the age of nine, a male nurse had sexually assaulted him, was prepared to confront "his family and his wife".
His attorney stated, "He is ashamed of what he did, it's unforgivable," and mentioned that the case included a "sort of addiction."
Dominique P. is accused of the aforementioned crime in addition to a 1991 murder and rape, all of which he denies, and a 1999 attempted rape, which he acknowledged following dna testing.
