How could a man drug and rape his wife and invite strangers to do the same?<\/p>\n

It is a question that has underpinned weeks of evidence in the trial of Dominique Pelicot who was today jailed for 20 years<\/a><\/strong> for the attacks on his then wife Gisele Pelicot.<\/p>\n

A further 50 men were convicted alongside him – the majority for rape – and between them sentenced to more than 400 years in prison.<\/p>\n

The court heard distressing details of a decade of abuse, including how Pelicot recruited men and filmed the assaults.<\/p>\n

Kerry Daynes, a consultant forensic psychologist, tells Sky News she sees Pelicot as a “career criminal” – rubbishing his defence’s claim that a psychological disorder caused his actions.<\/p>\n

What motivates this type of crime? <\/strong><\/p>\n

Pelicot is “somebody who has developed a fetish, in his eyes, for degrading women unbeknownst to them”, Ms Daynes says.<\/p>\n

“So whether that’s through voyeurism, upskirting, or the drugging and raping of his wife, this has got to be connected to a need for power and control.<\/p>\n

“I think that Giselle understands this and said, ‘No, actually, I refuse to be humiliated. I refuse to be degraded by you, because all of that shame you want me to feel actually belongs to you’.”<\/p>\n

Why did Pelicot target his family members?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ms Daynes says he could have chosen to victimise members of his family, Giselle particularly, because he viewed it as “less risky”.<\/p>\n

“If you engage in behaviour that is so disgraceful, so abusive and hideous, and you allow yourself to really acknowledge that, you would break down.<\/p>\n

“Therefore it’s imperative for sex offenders to find a psychological way of dealing that [\u2026] so they engage in psychological acrobatics.”<\/p>\n

Does Pelicot have a split personality? <\/strong><\/p>\n

The claim Pelicot suffers from a split personality is “absolutely ridiculous”, Ms Daynes says.<\/p>\n

“It implies that there’s some sort of psychiatric condition underlying this. There’s not. He knows exactly what he’s doing.<\/p>\n

“He’s not driven by any kind of psychosis or even major personality dysfunction. He is, quite simply, a sexual deviant who hates women, and wants to abuse them and degrade them.”<\/p>\n

She continued: “Pelicot’s lawyers have said this is a man who has been leading a double life. I agree with that, but he’s not somebody with a split personality. He is simply somebody who is able to compartmentalise.<\/p>\n

“This is how sex offenders operate. They’re not monsters lurking in alleyways. They’re not somehow different from the men that we share our lives with.<\/p>\n

“They are the men that we share our lives with, and that’s what this case really graphically illustrates.”<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
