Gisèle Pelicot’s daughter is dealing with unimaginable horror – as do all ‘forgotten victims’

The Independent  

By now, Gisèle Pelicot is a household name – for all the wrong and most tragic of reasons. Alongside Dominique’s depraved documentation of his wife’s abuse, a file titled “My Naked Daughter” was discovered, containing semi-nude images. In court, she called her father a “liar” and described herself as the trial’s “forgotten victim”, with no record of the abuse she believes took place. As someone who has experienced a similar type of assault, Caroline’s particular situation really strikes a chord with me – and I beg that she is not forgotten, after all. Acknowledging her torment, Caroline’s younger brother, Florian, 38, pleaded with his father in court: “If you have any dignity and humanity – you don’t have anything left to lose anyway – tell Caroline the truth.” And I really wish he would listen.
