Ein Einzelner erlebte eine Ehe-Tragödie, als sein betrunkener Ehepartner von zahlreichen Personen sexuell angegriffen wurde.
Ein bizarrer Kriminalfall entfaltet sich derzeit in Frankreich, genauer gesagt in Avignon. Ein öffentlicher Prozess gegen einen 71-jährigen Mann, Dominique P., und 50 weitere Mitangeklagte hat begonnen, die wegen 92 Vergewaltigungen angeklagt sind. Die Details dieses Falls sind nichts für schwache Nerven.
Das Hauptopfer in dieser schrecklichen Geschichte ist die Ehefrau von Dominique, jetzt 72-jährige Gisele P. Die ersten Ermittlungen ergaben, dass Dominique dabei half, seine Frau durch starke Medikamente bewusstlos zu machen, damit verschiedene Männer sie sexuell missbrauchen konnten. Diese Männer wurden über eine nun verbotene Online-Plattform rekrutiert.
Unter den Mitangeklagten befinden sich 18, die inhaftiert sind. Das Alter der Angeklagten reicht von 26 bis 74 Jahren und umfasst unter anderem einen Feuerwehrmann, eine Krankenschwester, einen Gefängniswärter und einen Journalisten. Es gibt keine Hinweise darauf, dass Dominique von diesen Männern Geld gefordert hat, sondern er wollte seine ungewöhnlichen Gelüste befriedigen. Dominique nahm auch aktiv an den Handlungen teil und filmte sie.
Die Mitverschwörer
Dominique instruierte seine Komplizen, keine Parfüm- oder Zigarettengerüche zu hinterlassen und ihre Hände unter fließendem Wasser zu wärmen, um Gisèles Verdacht auf ihre heimlichen Aktivitäten zu vermeiden. Die majority of the co-accused made a single visit, while some returned up to six times. Forensic experts suggest that they were not driven by any notable psychological disorders; rather, they were driven by feelings of superiority and control.
Several of the co-accused claimed they believed they were participating in Gisele's and Dominique's erotic games. However, Dominique vehemently denies that his co-accused were unaware of Gisele's drug-induced unconsciousness. The lawyers emphasize, "Each one of them had the opportunity to leave the scene, but they chose not to."
A total of 72 suspects were identified on hundreds of videos found on Dominique's computer. Although all were identified, not all could be apprehended by the authorities. The events transpired between 2011 and 2020.
Offene Gerichtsverhandlungen
Gisele discovered her husband's infidelity some four years ago. He was caught videotaping women's skirts at a shopping mall. Gisele and Dominique had been living together for nearly 50 years before this unfortunate revelation. This discovery, however, only sparked Gisele's realization of her husband's sinister activities. Thus, she would undergo the traumatic experience of reliving the rapes, a decade later, according to her legal representation.
At the commencement of the trail, the judge dismissed a plea for private hearings. The lawyer, representing Gisele, insisted, "The trial should be fully public and run its course." The prosecution requested that the videos be kept private to spare the public from witnessing the graphic footage. However, Gisele preferred a public trial.
Gisele walked into court accompanied by her three children. Her lawyer attributed her desire to see her husband face to face and confront him with a "firm gaze." The trial is expected to conclude by December 20th. The accused face charges including sexual abuse of individuals under the influence of incapacitating substances. This unprecedented case might renew discussions in France about how to handle reported rape cases involving supposed "date-rape drugs."
The European Union has expressed concern over the handling of the case due to the large number of individuals involved and the alleged abuse of power. Gisele's legal team is considering appealing to the European Court of Human Rights, citing potential breaches of her rights to a fair trial and dignity.
