Daughter Speaks Out: 'My Father Should Die in Prison' After Uncovering Family Horror
Caroline Darian reveals the devastating impact of her father's heinous actions in a shocking interview.
Caroline Darian's life was irrevocably changed when she discovered her father's unspeakable abuses. Her mother, Gisèle Pelicot, dropped a bombshell revealing that Dominique Pelicot had drugged her for years, allowing numerous men to assault her. This harrowing news shattered Caroline's world on a November evening in 2020, leading her to describe the moment as “like an earthquake.” She expressed her conviction that her father, now 72 and serving a 20-year sentence, should “die in prison,” calling him a "dangerous man" following a historic trial that exposed the depth of his crimes.
Dominique Pelicot's vile act of drugging his wife ultimately led to his capture after he was caught filming upskirt videos at a local supermarket. Investigations revealed a trove of disturbing evidence against him, including thousands of images of Gisèle being assaulted by other men, triggering a broader conversation around rape and gender violence, as well as the often-overlooked issue of chemical submission.
In the aftermath, Caroline dedicated herself to advocating for victims, particularly where evidence of assault is minimal, as many survivors have no memories or proofs of their trauma. She penned a book, "I'll Never Call Him Dad Again," detailing her family's suffering and shedding light on the pervasive issue of chemical submission, which frequently stems from familiar surroundings.
Having learned that she was also a victim, Caroline struggled to reconcile her past experiences with the identity of being the daughter of both a predator and a victim. "I am totally different from Dominique," she declared, emphasizing the imperative to educate the public on such invisible crimes. Despite the heavy burden of her family's history, Caroline draws strength from her support system, including her husband, mother, and young son. As they look toward the future, Caroline remains resolute in her mission to raise awareness about sexual abuse and protect others from similar fates.
