The trial of the “Monster of Avignon” has brought to light some deeply troubling allegations. This individual, currently facing serious charges, was reportedly caught on camera engaging in inappropriate and criminal behavior at a French supermarket, where he was seen upskirting women. Furthermore, he is accused of drugging his wife to orchestrate a horrific scenario where she was allegedly raped by 50 men.
This case underscores the severity of the accusations against him and the significant impact on the victims involved. The legal proceedings will likely focus on these charges and the evidence presented, as well as the broader implications for justice and victim support.
Dominique Pélicot, the 71-year-old dubbed the “Monster of Avignon,” is currently facing a trial at the Vaucluse Criminal Court in Avignon. The trial has attracted significant attention due to the severe nature of the charges against him. Pélicot admitted to drugging his wife and allowing multiple men to rape her.
Recent footage published by Paris Match shows Pélicot being apprehended by police while engaged in upskirting—filming up women’s skirts—at a supermarket in Carpentras, located in south-eastern France. These disturbing images add to the gravity of the accusations he faces as one of 51 defendants in this case.
The footage, filmed on September 12, 2020, captures Dominique Pélicot in a disturbing act of upskirting at a Leclerc supermarket. Wearing a mask and appearing as a white-haired grandfather, Pélicot is seen placing a camera underneath the skirts of unsuspecting women. When confronted by a security guard, who mentions that four customers had complained, a woman’s reaction is one of distress, repeatedly saying, “No, no, no.” This video adds to the gravity of Pélicot’s trial, where he faces severe charges including drugging his wife to be raped by multiple men.
