Readers may find some of the details in this narrative upsetting.
Dominique Pelicot, 71, was apprehended in a supermarket upskirting, or filming beneath the clothes of multiple women, after Nathalie received a warning from a security guard that the guy was tailing her.
In September 2020, he had taken pictures of ladies in the shopping center in Carpentras, in the southeast of France, using a camera concealed in a bag.
After the security guard confronted Pelicot and took his phone, Nathalie made the decision to report something to the local police.
In 2021, he was found guilty and given a suspended sentence.
In 2010, Pelicot was again detained for comparable offenses close to Paris. He concealed the €100 fine from Gisele Pelicot, his ex-wife, at the time.
However, it was Natalie’s choice that made the investigators find the several tapes showing males mistreating Ms. Pelicot during a ten-year period.
