  What I remember most about the trial is her grace, her strength. It’s not just a sad story. It’s a story about dignity, courage and hope.

  the security guard at the supermarket who called the police and  would not allow  mr. pelicot to leave  should get more recognition. He insisted that the women that were up skirted press charges.   he is the hero who brought this horror to light and got mr. pelicot jailed.   In addition, Mr. Pelicot is suspected of SA and murder of 2 female real estate agents in the 1990's.   So he has been abusing women forever and it is only the supermarket security guard who caught him.   The man deserves more credit.

  What was possibly the most disturbing aspect of this case for me was that the rapists who were caught and put on trial all generally lived within a 50km radius of the Pelicot home. These weren&apos;t men who made the journey from all around the globe because they were a rare breed in their depravity. If all the rapists caught were already within the local vicinity, then just how rife must their monstrous mentality be worldwide? How many men would be prepared to rape if they were convinced they could get away with it?<br>Merci Gisèle pour votre courage.

  What dignity this woman has, how she has dealt with this disgusting treachery, shows a level of self awareness and class that is very rare in today’s world

  Who are the 98 people who disliked this interview??<br>Should we look for the 20-30 missing perpetrators amongst them?
