Gisèle Pelicot, whose ex-husband Dominique Pelicot was jailed in December 2024 for drugging her and facilitating her rape by dozens of men, plans to visit him in prison. She seeks answers regarding potential abuse of their daughter, Caroline Darian, and his alleged involvement in a 1991 rape and murder case. Questions arose after police found photos of Darian unconscious, leading to a strained relationship between mother and daughter, though they are now rebuilding their bond. Gisèle hopes Dominique will provide clarity on the allegations against him, expressing a desire for remorse and truth. The case, which shocked France, involved at least 70 perpetrators, many of whom remain unidentified.
