Gisèle Pelicot Is A Hero, But What Does Her Case Do For Imperfect Victims Like Me?

Huff Post  

Gisèle Pelicot arrives with her lawyer, Antoine Camus, in front of the courthouse before a verdict in the Pelicot case is delivered on Dec. 19 in Avignon, France. For nearly a decade, Gisèle’s husband, Dominique Pelicot, drugged her and invited strangers to rape her while she was unconscious, filming these heinous acts. One man dismissed his actions by saying, “It’s his wife; he does what he likes with her.” Perhaps worst of all were the men who claimed it was “involuntary” or “accidental” rape, including one man who, as Catherine Porter reported, excused himself by saying, “I raped her with my body, but not with my mind.” This collective denial echoes a horrifying truth: Rapists, even when confronted with irrefutable evidence, often refuse to see themselves as such. Some might argue that this trial represents progress: Gisèle’s public bravery, Dominique’s maximum sentence, and the convictions of 51 men signal a cultural shift. Gisèle’s case had irrefutable evidence, provided by tens of thousands of videos neatly documented in a computer file labeled “abuse,” proof most survivors of sexual violence can never obtain.
