It’s a query that has underpinned weeks of proof within the trial of Dominique Pelicot who was immediately jailed for 20 years for the assaults on his then spouse Gisele Pelicot.

What motivates any such crime?

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

“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.

“I believe that Giselle understands this and mentioned, ‘No, really, I refuse to be humiliated. I refuse to be degraded by you, as a result of all of that disgrace you need me to really feel really belongs to you’.”

Why did Pelicot target his family members?

Ms Daynes says he could have chosen to victimise members of his family, Giselle particularly, because he viewed it as “much less dangerous”.

“For those who interact in behaviour that’s so disgraceful, so abusive and hideous, and also you permit your self to essentially acknowledge that, you’ll break down.

“Therefore it’s imperative for sex offenders to find a psychological way of dealing that […] so they engage in psychological acrobatics.”

‘I by no means regretted waiving anonymity’

Does Pelicot have a break up character?

The declare Pelicot suffers from a break up character is “absolutely ridiculous”, Ms Daynes says.

“It implies that there’s some sort of psychiatric condition underlying this. There’s not. He knows exactly what he’s doing.

“He is not pushed by any sort of psychosis and even main character dysfunction. He’s, fairly merely, a sexual deviant who hates girls, and desires to abuse them and degrade them.”

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.

“That is how intercourse offenders function. They don’t seem to be monsters lurking in alleyways. They don’t seem to be one way or the other totally different from the boys that we share our lives with.

“They are the men that we share our lives with, and that’s what this case really graphically illustrates.”
