Gisele Pelicot’s daughter opens up about fallout with mother: ‘She abandoned me’

• Caroline Darian, daughter of Gisèle Pelicot, claims she was also a victim of her father, Dominique Pelicot, who was convicted last year for orchestrating her mother's mass rape.
• Darian alleges that her mother did not support her claims during the trial, leading to a significant rift between them, with Darian stating her mother “abandoned” her in court.
• During the investigation, police recovered deleted photographs of Darian from her father's hard drive, showing her asleep and nearly naked, which she believes were taken after she was drugged like her mother.
• Dominique was jailed for the maximum term of 20 years, and 51 men were convicted for a total of 428 years in the three-month trial.
• Darian has detailed her harrowing experience in a book, I'll Never Call Him Dad Again, and launched a campaign, #MendorsPas: Stop Chemical Submission: Don't Put Me Under, to highlight drugged assaults.
