Gisèle Pelicot: Shame Must Change Sides


Listen Later

In this landmark 100th episode of When Killers Get Caught, we step beyond the moment of arrest and into something deeper: a reckoning.

The case of Gisèle Pelicot shocked the world. For nearly a decade, her husband, Dominique Pelicot, drugged her into unconsciousness and invited dozens of men into their home meticulously documenting the abuse along the way. What began as a seemingly minor incident in a French supermarket unraveled into one of the most disturbing cases of systemic betrayal in recent history.

But this story is not about him.

It is about Gisèle, who refused to remain anonymous and who made one thing clear: Shame must change sides.

In this milestone episode, we examine:

  • The Pelicot Timeline: From the first red flags to the historic trial in Avignon.

  • The Digital Blueprint: How forensic evidence exposed a hidden, global network of “everyday” perpetrators.

  • The Lived Aftermath: Firsthand insights into the experiences of survivors like Zoe Watts, Amanda Stanhope, and Valentina.

  • The "Pelicot Effect": How this case is fundamentally reshaping the legal definition of consent.

This episode is dedicated to the survivors, to those who have had to reclaim their bodies, their autonomy, and their stories from the shadows.

Content Warning: This episode contains detailed discussions of sexual assault and drug-facilitated abuse. Listener discretion is strongly advised.
