“I am a rapist, like the others in this room,” Pelicot told the court Tuesday, as his long-awaited testimony began.
In a move rarely seen in France, Pelicot refused to remain anonymous.
While many are charged with raping Gisèle Pelicot one time, others are charged with as many as six assaults.
Indeed, Dominique Pelicot had been arrested before, nabbed in a supermarket outside Paris in 2010, using a pen-camera to film under women’s skirts.
Dominique Pelicot obtained hundreds of prescription drugs from his own doctor, who declined to speak to police.
