"If these same hearings, through their publicity, help prevent other women from having to go through this, then she will find meaning in her suffering," one of Ms Pelicot's lawyers, Stéphane Babonneau, said.
What a badass. I have so much respect for the ways she’s been handling this. A real “fuck you” to her abusers. Repeatedly.
As long as that's Giséle's choice, that's a huge win and I wish her luck with her case. Thats beyond horrifying
Yeah, she waived her right to anonymity, not automatically. She chose to, and it's her lawyers arguing these videos should be seen by the world. She is willing to give up her privacy like that to show exactly what these monsters will do to defenseless people. Absolute badass.
I respect her right to do this, but I'm not sure what it gains anyone. If anyone, I imagine people will view it for their own gratification.
Then we should also make clear that anybody who watches them for gratification is a truly evil piece of shit.
Many people delude themselves into thinking they're good people even when they're evil, we shouldn't let them.
Gains the same thing Emmett Till's open casket gained.
I don't think I'd watch them out of respect, that's horrifying.
But man, I support the hell out of her throwing this evidence at her attackers full force and women should take strength out of her example.
I truly hope it makes it damn near impossible for any one of these men too get a job ever again.
Imagine if you both have a conviction of rape, and a video of you doing it on public record?
Christ.
Between this and Diddy, hard to believe how far some people take it. No different than serial killers imo.
Be honest: it's really really different magnitude.
Rape (especially such) is unbelievably horrible.
But death - it's the final point.
Me and a friend had an ongoing debate whether rape or murder was worse. I argued that murder was worse than rape while he argued the opposite. It was mostly just the two of us being edgelords. But after reading about these two cases, I started to think that the serial rapists might be more depraved.
