Gisèle Pelicot: The Newsnight Interview

What I remember most about the trial is her grace, her strength. It’s not just a sad story. It’s a story about dignity, courage and hope.

the security guard at the supermarket who called the police and would not allow mr. pelicot to leave should get more recognition. He insisted that the women that were up skirted press charges. he is the hero who brought this horror to light and got mr. pelicot jailed. In addition, Mr. Pelicot is suspected of SA and murder of 2 female real estate agents in the 1990's. So he has been abusing women forever and it is only the supermarket security guard who caught him. The man deserves more credit.

Thank you Madam Pelicot for putting the shame where it belongs.

What dignity this woman has, how she has dealt with this disgusting treachery, shows a level of self awareness and class that is very rare in today’s world

What was possibly the most disturbing aspect of this case for me was that the rapists who were caught and put on trial all generally lived within a 50km radius of the Pelicot home. These weren't men who made the journey from all around the globe because they were a rare breed in their depravity. If all the rapists caught were already within the local vicinity, then just how rife must their monstrous mentality be worldwide? How many men would be prepared to rape if they were convinced they could get away with it? Merci Gisèle pour votre courage.

This lady has to be the most courageous woman ever. Her dignity and inspiring demeanor are exceptional. God protect her and heal her.

She is an extraordinary woman. Such poise and dignity.

Time for the shame to change sides! Thank you Gisèle Pelicot, for your extraordinary courage, dignity and eloquence.

Shout out to the supermarket security man who took action and exposed this despicable person and brought light to the truth.

Her life was turned into a nightmare but she moved forward with courage, dignity and grace. I salute her.
