The Gisèle Pelicot Story: 72 Men Said Yes

Come Closer

Show Notes

For almost ten years, Dominique Pelicot was considered a model husband.

He was also drugging his wife unconscious and inviting strangers into their home to assault her while she slept. He filmed all of it. He organized all of it. And he did it so carefully that Gisèle had no idea.

Part One covers the marriage, the decade of abuse, how it was finally uncovered, and the moment investigators realized exactly how far this went.

Content warning: this episode contains detailed discussion of drug-facilitated assault. Listen with care.

Part Two drops Wednesday.
