This week, Caroline Darian lodged a police complaint against her father, Dominique Pelicot, who was previously convicted for drugging and raping his wife, Gisèle Pelicot, over several years. The case shocked France, revealing not only domestic violence but also alarming practices of "chemical submission" through sedatives.

### Allegations Surface: Daughter of Convicted Rapist Details Abuse in New Police Complaint
A chilling complaint has been filed against Dominique Pelicot, following his conviction for drugging and assaulting his wife, as his daughter accuses him of similar heinous crimes.
In last year’s trial, Pelicot was found guilty of inviting numerous men to assault his wife while she was incapacitated. The case sparked vital conversations around consent and rape culture in the country. During the proceedings, Darian confronted her father, alleging that he had also drugged and raped her, accusations he vehemently denied. Despite earlier investigations, no charges were brought against him for any abuse of his daughter until now.
Now that Darian's police complaint has been officially filed, it will be assessed by authorities who will determine if sufficient evidence exists to pursue additional charges against Pelicot. The trial also uncovered evidence of over 20,000 explicit photographs that he kept, documenting his repeated offenses against his wife and identifying his accomplices, further exposing a disturbing cycle of exploitation.
