Gisèle Pelicot Appeal: Legal Dispute Continues

The text details the defense strategy of Husamettin Dogan, an accused in a rape case involving Dominique Pelicot. Dogan’s defense argues that he was manipulated by Pelicot, whom an expert suggested Dogan might have viewed as a dominant, paternal figure. Dogan’s lawyer claims he felt “trapped,” believing he was engaging with a “libertine couple” and was unaware of Pelicot’s long-term abuse of his wife. Though,Dominique Pelicot,already convicted for orchestrating the rapes of his sedated wife,is expected to dispute this,maintaining that all participants,including Dogan,were fully aware they were coming to violate a sedated woman.
