Mass trial shines a light on rape culture in France
NPRMass trial shines a light on rape culture in France toggle caption Lewis Joly/AP AVIGNON, France — They are, on the face of it, the most ordinary of men. For the first time since early in the trial, Gisèle Pelicot spoke Wednesday about her husband’s “immeasurable” betrayal, and expressed sympathy for the wives, mothers and sisters of his 50 co-defendants, French media reported. Sponsor Message Piques was particularly struck by the testimony of a tech expert at the trial who had found the search terms “asleep porn” on Dominique Pelicot's computer. Sponsor Message “It’s the idea of a hooded man with a knife whom you don’t know and is waiting for you in a place that is not a private place,” she said, noting that this “is miles away from the sociological, criminological reality of rape.” Two-thirds of rapes take place at private homes, and in a vast majority of cases, victims know their rapists, Lafourcade said. Lafourcade said that unlike the #MeToo accusations that have ensnared French celebrities, the Pelicot case “makes us understand that in fact rapists could be everyone.” “For once, they’re not monsters — they’re not serial killers on the margin of society.
