About this episode
<p>Of the 83 men who had raped Gisèle Pelicot, she recognised only two faces. One was a neighbour – and the other was her beloved husband of over 50 years. Dominique Pelicot had been using a chatroom to invite total strangers over to assault his wife, without her knowledge, for almost a decade. And she had had no idea.</p><p>We peel back every layer of this unfathomable case: the shockwaves it sent through France and the Pelicot family; the rapists’ jaw-dropping attitudes to their crimes; Gisèle’s astonishing bravery in speaking up in her 2024 trial; and even evidence linking Dominique Pelicot to two cold cases – one a brutal murder. It’s time to meet the Monster of Avignon.</p><p><strong>Exclusive bonus content:</strong></p><p><a href="https://wondery.com/shows/redhanded/">Wondery</a> - Ad-free & ShortHand</p><p><a href="http://patreon.com/redhanded">Patreon</a> - Ad-free & Bonus Episodes</p><p><strong>Follow us on social media:</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7dovjXDB69lhDjASbAgnwA">YouTube</a></p><p><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@redhandedthepod">TikTok</a></p><p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/redhandedthepod/">Instagram</a></p><p><a href="https://twitter.com/RedHandedthepod">X</a></p><p><strong>Visit our website:</strong></p><p><a href="https://redhandedpodcast.com/">Website</a></p><p><strong><em>Sources available on </em></strong><a href="http://redhandedpodcast.com/"><strong><em><a href="http://redhandedpodcast.com">redhandedpodcast.com</a></em></strong></a></p>
