Pelicot

Pelicot won international acclaim last year for her courage during the trial of her former husband, Dominique Pelicot. Her upcoming memoir “A Hymn to Life” will be published next year and reports indicate that HBO will adapt the book.

Dominique Pelicot, who was jailed in December for repeatedly drugging and raping his then-wife Gisèle, is a suspect in other cases of rape and murder.

Dominique Pelicot was sentenced last month along with 50 other men for the repeated drugging and rape of Gisèle Pelicot in case that stunned France.

Gisèle Pelicot, a survivor of sexual abuse, is hailed as a national icon in France for her bravery in court.

Isaac Steidl has been detained by French police for creating a website used by criminals, including Dominique Pelicot, to carry out rape and murder.
