There's a disturbing similarity between this case and that of Gisèle Pelicot.

There is, isn't there. And the most depressing thing is that there are probably far more similar cases out there too - with victims possibly unaware of what's happened to them.

I was only half listening to the news and assumed they were talking about Gisele Pelicot.

Shocked when I realised it had happened again

Appalling, I agree ViceVersa

There is a whole sector of porn devoted to assaulting sleeping women, I think the various platforms have recently been forced to remove it but there was obviously a considerable market for it. Sadly these cases are no surprise, that poor woman.

I’m just reading Gisèle Pelicout’s memoir. Brave woman.

2 years ago there was a case where a British lady had been drugged and raped by other men over a 13 year period. I beleive the case is still ongoing.
Now another one. How many more disgusting men are subjecting their drugged wives to this?
