Inferiority complex, revenge? Gisèle Pelicot testifies on husband’s possible motives for mass rape

Gisèle Pelicot testified on Wednesday for a second time in the high-profile mass rape case that has sent shock waves across France and beyond. The hearing focused on what motive her husband of 50 years, Dominique Pelicot, could have had for drugging her unconscious and recruiting more than 50 men to take part in raping her for nearly a decade. Speculation soon turned to whether he had been driven by an extreme thirst for revenge or a severe inferiority complex.
