[Music] bada bing badao Dominique doesn't know it yet but his wife is about to divorce him they have been married for 50 years they have three children together they have six almost seven grandchildren together they're in their 60s but Jazelle his wife is about to divorce him it's never an easy thing to tell your partner that you've been arrested for what there's these two girls at the Supermarket well the officer says there's three girls there might have been a phone placed underneath their skirts as they bent down to grab items from the bottom shelf the
phone might have also been on camera mode and perhaps recording he has been arrested for filming illegal secret upskirt videos of strangers at the supermarket this 60-year-old man he's crying trying to explain to his wife that it must be the Old age it it must be the madness I mean maybe it's dementia there's no way that this is really him he's never done anything like this for the past 50 years so why would he start now he's trying to explain this whole thing it's just silly Jazelle is almost kind of relieved maybe it's all some
sort of big misunderstanding perhaps he was recording something with his phone he dropped it and then a woman happened to walk over it and in this moment of Temporary madness he just picked up his phone saved the video Jazelle even follows her husband to the police station to sort things out on the way he does not seem anxious or stressed this is all one big misunderstanding I mean surely why is she going to police station like she found out about the video yes so she needs to go to the police station because they just need
to do some paperwork now the police calling him yes it's not a big deal it's just a Big misunderstanding she's going as moral support I mean they're all going to figure this out she waits in the waiting room he gets taken into an interrogation room after an hour Jazelle is asked to come into a room and the officers have a few questions for her for me Madam what are the adjectives that characterize your husband's personality well my husband is caring this is exactly what she says a very very caring person always ready to help He's
very much appreciated by those around him we met when we were both 18 years old and shortly got married after that and you would say that after all these years you and your husband are still quite close well yes of course we experience our lows but we've always managed to overcome them do you have any friends in the area are you inviting them over often yes of course we have friends we invite them over for lunch sometimes Dinner we we lead just very normal lives the line of questioning is definitely getting a little bit odd
but it just keeps getting weirder Madame Jazelle do you take naps often how often do you take these naps how often do you wake up in the mornings and you feel a little groggy do you always wake up feeling fresh every morning how often are you and your husband intimate are you guys swingers at this point Jazelle responds oh my gosh no I wouldn't stand the hands Of another person on me I I need emotion when I connect with someone I am a married woman I am not a swinger the officer looks at her kind
of compassionately he pulls out this thick folder of files the images I'm about to show you will not be pleasing to look at she's so confused what images are you talking about from the supermarket she takes out her glasses puts them on in the very first photo she's shown she sees a Picture of herself she's laying on her stomach on the bed completely nude unconscious there is a stranger standing nude behind her she does not know this man then another photo another strange man that she does not know and she does not remember the photos
another man a new strange man each a different stranger but she doesn't remember any of this how could she not remember any of this that's her bedside table that's her lamp those are her bed sheets that's her Bed that's her bedroom what are these after arresting jelle's husband Dominique for filming upskirt videos in a supermarket they searched his devices and in a folder on a USB the folder is called abuses they find nearly 20 ,000 digital files inside that folder they found new subfolders at least 80 of them each with names and sexual acts the
name of each man that came to essay his wife Jazelle had their own Folder from 2011 till 2020 for almost 10 years Jazelle did not know that her own husband of 50 years was drugging her so that she could be essayed by strange men from the [Music] internet we would like to thank today's sponsors who have made it possible for rotten mango to support the Nomi Network this International nonprofit provides life-changing opport unities connections to safer employment life skills and Resources for survivors of sexual abuse and exploitation this episode's Partnerships have also made it possible

of this book so I took the French book and I just translated it Page by page so I could get you guys a deep dive on this case this book is one of the most insightful books I think I have ever read it is so incredibly raw and its honest depiction of how One Deals with such an intimate betrayal her vulnerability has provided us with so much insight into what happened not just in this case but what's likely happening to women everywhere so with that being said a few disclaimers heavy themes of essay family essay
abuse as well as intentional drugging and use of illegal substances if that is too much for you today please be safe take care of yourself and we will see you in the next one so with that being said let's get Into it there's a medical mystery in the family jizelle is sick gizelle's kids know that something is wrong with her sometimes she would call them and in the middle of the phone conversation she would start rambling or she sounds like she's in a fog and she doesn't understand what's going on who she's on the phone
with sometimes they'd be talking to her on the phone on Monday about something they call her Tuesday she doesn't remember a single thing About yesterday's conversation other times she would be FaceTiming one of her six grandchildren and the kids would be excitedly telling her about their weekend but Jazelle would just start asking some incoherent questions the questions are not even related to to what the child is talking about but the questions itself don't make sense it's starting to scare the kids like what what's wrong with Grandma Caroline one of jelle's kids Would take the phone
Mom what's going on are you all right one time she asked Mom what day is it today Jazelle couldn't even answer Jazelle did not know what day it was her three adult children they live hundreds of miles away they live in Paris and Jazelle and her husband Dominique they live in like the south of France the Mountain Side in a tiny little town when did this happen like this whole she not asking qu we questions from 2011 to 2020 oh so this whole time she's not doing well no so gazelle's three adult children they would
have these conversations about her I mean I'm worried about mom you know what if it's Alzheimer's they would ask each other about Dad what does Dad think Dominique the dad always downplay it your mother doesn't know how to say herself she's always on the Move she's hyperactive if she could just rest without worrying about every little detail you know how She is but still maybe it's best if she sees some sort of neurologist no she had her scans done nothing there is nothing wrong with her she spoke to multiple neurologists nothing is wrong with her
their Uncle a retired doctor mentioned an analogy that made sense for the whole family it's on par with what their dad was saying the former doctor the uncle says I think it's like when when when a bag of a vacuum cleaner is full the machine stops so it doesn't burn out That's how you disconnect and you recharge your batteries she just needs to recharge everyone thought that's pretty simple maybe it just ends there the solution is that just get some rest enjoy the retired life take it easy smell the roses Jazelle but in the next
8 years for most of Jazelle 60s it just only gets worse Jazelle has insomnia she's losing chunks of her hair her weight is just shedding off she's already quite a frail woman and it's Alarming when someone at that age starts just rapidly losing weight she's losing 17 lbs in the span of just a few years she's scared that she's going to suffer some sort of stroke to the point where Jazelle she stops driving if she has a stroke on the Road God forbid she hits someone she hurts herself there are times that she remembers starting
the evening having dinner with a bunch of their friends that came over and then nothing it's just a blank after that she Doesn't know when they left she doesn't know what happened during the dinner she doesn't know how she got to bed she just wakes up the next morning not a single memory it's not getting better at one point one of the adult children the youngest son he comes over to visit for the weekend with his kids go say hi to Grandma go say hi to Grandma jaelle and Grandpa the truth is he likely came
over to make sure his mom was okay but it's not okay they're all sat at the dinner Table getting ready to eat and after a few minutes a phone starts ringing this is almost like a trigger or something Jazelle goes to grab it but her elbow almost gives out she's scrambling almost falling onto the table she's sitting it's like in slow motion it's not a moment of genuine clumsiness it looks like she's drunk where the body moves slowly she can't catch herself it's it's like her body is suddenly drained of all its energy and she
just deflates like a Ragd doll he later tells his siblings it's like she was under hypnosis so strange just Motionless limp she had this Blank Stare all night she wouldn't respond to us dad had to take her to bed it's not until 2019 that Jazelle goes to see yet another neurologist he tells her melatonin take some melatonin to go to sleep what yeah that's it that's his solution throughout the years Jazelle had severe gynecological problems and even those Are all brushed off too much stress they told her just calm down it's it's impacting your whole
system on one occasion jelle was so frustrated that as a joke she told her husband Dominique you must be dragging me because I mean normally I have excellent memory this doesn't make sense she was completely joking and he just breaks down into tears you really think that I could do something like that to you Jazelle felt bad it's a joke but she can see how it Offends him I mean through it all Dominique was by his wife's side one might think that it's a promise that he made in the vows even in their aging days
he's going to take care of her that's what he said but he also did it with so much love he would always calm his kids down reassure them you just know how mom is she just needs a good night's rest and she'll be back on her feet worrying about the garden worrying about this worrying about that obsessing Over the details you know how she is he took her to every doctor's appointment he would hold her hand he tried to think of all the reasons that this might be happening to her I mean what else was
he supposed to say or do he could never tell the doctors it had something to do with the lorazapam that he would crush up and mix into her dinners at night before he invited special guests over Dominique would Post online about the few rules that he has one no cologne no Fragrances no smoking or tobacco two upon entering you must wash your hands thoroughly in hot water or warm them up next to a heater three by the time you leave the kitchen before heading upstairs you must be fully Ned leave all your clothes on the
front porch four park near the the school and walk in the dark to not wake up the neighbors five your cell phone must be left in your car why such specific rules it's not random or specific for the sole purpose of Being arbitrary there is a reason behind every single one of these rules one no fragrances he said his wife is a light sleeper doesn't want to wake his wife up with unfamiliar scents two you must wash your hands in hot water he can't risk having cold hands touch his wife she might wake up from
the sudden change in temperature three taking off clothes in the kitchen that way if his wife moves around or is about to wake up the rers can hide without having to worry about Picking up after their socks their clothing their little underwear Left Behind what four obviously he can't park outside in the driveway in case the neighbors see and they ask Jazelle about it the next morning and the phone's got to be left in the car in case it vibrates or rings and wakes people up in the house because how do you explain that you've
just invited over strange men from the online Forum to come and Essay your Wife Dominique would post pictures of his wife Jazelle all nude or in very skimpy sexual lingerie and in very suggestive poses in each and every single picture she is completely unconscious in each posting he would even offer to show videos of previous strangers essaying his wife to help get that initial arousal started so the guys face are in there too right yes wow he's posting on a forum called without them knowing it's part of a bigger webs ite Where the chat messages
are immediately erased after a few hours it's a very controversial website to begin with I think this website alone has been the topic of about 20,000 investigations in France it has been since shut down at one point the site was linked to investigations into pedophilic activity racist activity as well as selling drugs online but on this particular Forum on this website that without them knowing it was active in 2020 some members would Come onto the Forum to post photos and videos of their Partners without their consent most of them were alarmingly young other times members
would come together to talk about performing sexual acts on their unknowing non-consensual partners and most of the time their Partners have been drugged that's where Dominique is posting about his wife he did not ask for any sort of payment this wasn't some sort of one for one situation either crime for a crime all Dominique demanded from them was that he be allowed to film the whole whole crime the whole thing once these men would sneak into his marital home Dominique would meticulously film each of the essay incidents some of them lasted 5 to 6 hours
what they were all filmed recorded and logged kept in his precious USB drive under a file titled abuses Jazelle broke down when she saw those videos and photos of her she said I was his thing upon finding out the truth of what happened for the past 10 years of her marriage what her mysterious health issues were caused by Jazelle immediately leaves her husband of 50 years she packs her things leaves the house their daughter Caroline says in the book my mother left her marital home with hardly a tear 50 years of a shared life suddenly
vanished I saw her packing boxes sorting through Furniture emptying their closets taking down Photos with Incredible dignity frail exhausted yet modest resilient she had no choice she had to leave a member of the family said for crimes like this chemical submission is what they call it you're forcing someone to submit through chemicals technically date rape would be inside of this category but chemical submission a lot of the times when you hear it referred to in France it's almost someone you know it's like a friend or in a social Environment it's not a stranger at a
club it's typically it can often be your own partner so someone you know drugs you and then essays you yes is called chemical submission yes I mean it does apply to strangers but it seems like more often than not it is someone you know because I think there is this connotation of date rap being between strangers or like acquaintances but chemical submission there's almost this feeling of it happens inside the home it Could happen between fathers and daughters husband to wife it's which can be even worse because you just broke that trust yes and you
likely don't know what's going on at all now chemical submission is Insidious it's so hard to detect so much so that months even years can go by without anyone noticing anything it's like turning off a lamp she becomes an inert thing a puppet at the mercy of the aggressor there is this illusion that The victim will feel nothing that she will have forgotten everything upon waking up but that is not true the victim does not forget everything even if they were drugged and don't remember their body and their unconscious States bear the scars of brutality
jelle's daughter said my father offered his wife to the first person who came along without even demanding protected sometimes he even forbade the wearing of condoms Jazelle would soon get a call a Very bad news afterwards one of the perpetrators was HIV positive he had come to essay her six separate times she went to the hospital afterwards and her test results for HIV came back negative but she did have an incredibly inflamed cervix which is very dangerous and she had contracted four separate STDs that are curable they're treatable but still I mean one of these
could trigger cervical cancer if left Untreated which is what was happening when she would go to the gynecologist nobody would test her for STDs because she's she's in a loyal faithful relationship she's been married for x amount of years truly the the odds of her catching an STD were Slim So when she was being filmed was the husband in the room too yes and he would watch he would film and he would call her hundreds of times at 42 years old Caroline's life is perfect this is Their only daughter so they have three kids two
sons and a daughter Caroline Caroline is the one who authored the book her life is genuinely very mundane as how she describes it until she finds out that her mom is an essay victim of over at least 50 men and her her dad is the main perpetrator Caroline says at that moment my 42-year-old life I have a job that I'm passionate about I have a husband I have a child a house a simple life ignorant of earthquakes a Privileged life living each day thinking tomorrow will be a promise not a threat my life revolves around
my family I mean all of it is absolutely mundane but nobody measures the price of mundane until it's lost Caroline's son is about to turn 6 and 1/2 years old which this is in 20 20 so it's rough she has to teach him how to properly wear a mask to school it's covid times it's kind of cute how they make masks small enough to fit little Kids faces but while practicing how to wear the mask properly Caroline takes a picture posts it onto her Facebook and immediately Caroline's father Dominique comments my poor little Tom these
are all fake names by the way so you can find jaelle and Dominique's names online now you'll see why they've requested it for it to be public Caroline Darion I believe is a pen name her brothers are listed under fake names in her book you can find their real names online right Now but I'm going to go with the pseudonyms as well as for her son immediately father comments online my poor little Tom good luck for this rather special back to school your papa who loves you that would be the last time Caroline would ever
interact with her father November 2nd 2020 Caroline's husband Paul receives a voicemail on the family landline Caroline's at work he goes to the phone he picks it up it's Caroline's mom Jazelle it's me it's Urgent it concerns Dominique your dad call me back please Caroline says they're instantly going into Panic Paul's panicking because this is the height of Co Dominique has respiratory problems we don't know what's going to happen naturally they believe he's in the ICU but then another voicemail you have one unheard voicemail from the local police liutenant Paul doesn't listen to that one
instead he calls his mother-in-law back first wait what's Going on Jazelle what's happening Dominique he's um he's going to be incarcerated he was caught in the act filming under the skirts of three women in a supermarket he was held in custody for 48 hours then released and in the meantime the police had searched his mobile phone several SIM cards his camcorder his laptop it's much more serious than that the facts are much more serious Caroline's mom says she'll call Paul back once Caroline is home cuz she needs both of them there she needs to tell
them at the same time in the meantime Paul calls the police station back and they tell him we have found videos showing your mother-in-law asleep visibly drugged with men essaying her at the moment 73 73 men as we speak we have identified at least 50 of them your father-in-law was very organized he photographed and filmed all the acts I myself had a lot of trouble watching all The videos but we are far from having finished assessing everything Paul and the police are terrified for chazelle's Life the amount of drugs that must have been carelessly and
recklessly heartlessly shoved into her system she's elderly and now all the trauma that comes with all of this but also Paul is terrified for his wife Caroline how she's going to handle this about her parents so that evening Caroline walks in through the front door Tom's running around going crazy because Tom is ignorant all of this Tom is a child but Paul is just staring straight at his wife his face is so serious and at that exact moment Caroline's phone rings it's her mom Caroline says in moments of trauma a traumatic shock in particular people
often remember just one detail sometimes it's a smell or a noise or some sort of sensation something timy that becomes enormous that they will remember forever In that moment Caroline remembers looking past Paul and staring at the oven and in white blocky numbers it reads 8:25 825 p.m. it's ingrained in her brain she said 8:25 p.m. I would be living the last seconds of a normal life the restor blur in the book Caroline details hearing her mom's voice shakingly telling her your father invited men to the house when I was unconscious in our room I
saw several Pictures of me asleep lying on my stomach and on my bed with different men each time all strangers Jazelle stated that Caroline made a well buping noise akin to an animal being wounded her daughter just made this no it was like a howl Jazelle tells her daughter about being in the police station where the officers asked her to ID one of the videos but the photos were already too Unbearable look at let alone a video she said I thought my heart was going to stop beating he told me sorry ma'am but what your
husband has done is monstrous I'm so sorry Caroline can't help but think about her mom and she writes she had become his re his toy his thing and we did not know how to protect her Caroline's brothers are alerted all three of them they rush to meet up with Jazelle and take her away from this small little mountain town together they Go to the police station and the siblings are old they're all adults and they they're informed your father has been drugging your mother regularly for at least 8 years to essay her he filmed her
and posted some images on the internet since September 2013 he has invited out at least 53 individuals to abuse your unconscious mother he posted photos of her to bait them and shared his fantasies he did not request financial Compensation Caroline said she found that more perverted more perverse she said my father has always had money problems but he did not do business with my mother that means he was acting then purely for his own pleasure Caroline said she had to know she asked the detective sitting there and she's like I don't even know if I
want to know the answer to this did my father show any remorse for my mother for his children his grandchildren for Betraying his whole family like this no your father simply thanked us for taking the weight off his shoulders Caroline and her siblings they leave the police station they're fuming but right when they get to their parents' house cuz Dominque is already detained at this point so he's not there they're trying to help Jazelle pack her things trying to leave Caroline gets a call from the police officers hello they tell her that she Needs to
come back to the police station well surely I can wait till tomorrow no it cannot and she remembers checking the clock 5:25 p.m. the kitchen microwave was singed into her brain and she knew that this was an omen this can't be good it only gets worse when she arrives at the police station with her little brother Julian fake name they won't let her brother come into the room with her he has to wait outside she sits down in This interrogation room practically and the officers show her these giant computer monitors with big blue folders and
the officer is oddly calm he tells her there is nothing that you cannot overcome in this life to the daughter yeah she's like what are you talking about I just need to know if you recognize yourself in any of these photos he shows her a few images he shows her The first photo she's probably not even breathing at this point it's of a woman in bed with her butt exposed it's not her it's not me it's not me then another picture it seems like the same brown-haired woman but not the same bedroom or the same
pajamas or even the same underwear I'm sorry I I don't recognize her the officer looks down and they all kind of look at each other very uncomfortably I'm sorry ma'am but could You look again do you not have the same brown spot on your cheek as the woman in these two pictures what she looks back at the photos and she says in that moment tingling in her body stars like spots prevent me from seeing clearly my ears start buzzing I go backwards it's her she didn't recognize herself because probably her brain and the trauma and
she's like no I refuse but also those are in her clothes that's not her Underwear she's been put into some sort of lingerie that is not hers she cannot even and she looks drugged you know if you ever see pictures of yourself if you've ever been blackout drunk which is so dangerous if you ever see pictures of yourself it almost doesn't look like you because you're like that doesn't even cuz your muscles are not working like they normally do it's a weird and in this environment those aren't her clothes she doesn't recognize anything But it's
her and she starts panicking how how could he photograph her without waking her up that's her biggest question she wants to know whose underwear is she wearing did he drug her did he abuse her did somebody else abuse her when the buzzing finally stops Caroline looks up and nods yes that's me in the photos and she said she dropped her knees and she became hysterical to the point where Julian had to come and pick Her up on the way back to the house Caroline is just thinking there's no way she wasn't drugged it just doesn't
make sense she's normally an incredibly light sleeper the smallest thing will wake her up she tells her brother I don't naturally sleep like that the lights are on in the picture the lights are on and the lights are too strong I know myself if I was asleep and someone turned on the light I wake up I wake up every single time from the light I never go to Sleep dressed in that in fact I don't even recognize those clothes or that underwear how how could I be in underwear that I don't recognize or in that
position on my stomach it doesn't make any sense how is that even possible an even more unsettling part in all of this is so far the documented abuse from Jazelle is from 2013 to 2020 eventually they'll find more evidence that it spans from 2011 to 2020 but one of the Pictures Caroline's brother tells her it looks like the old apartment that the parents used to live in which was way before so it was around like 2011 one of the photo that the daughter was in yeah wow meanwhile Paul Caroline's husband isn't with her it's just
the three siblings helping Jazelle at the house Paul is at home taking care of their son and they're watching the game soccer game this is like their tradition every single night during the Season the little boy turns to Paul and says Dad tell Grandpa I'm betting on te a this is their nightly tradition usually they call their grandpa to talk about their prediction for the game Paul decides to send one last message to Dominique it reads I'm writing to you a message that you will never read I'm watching an OM match with your grandson I
hear tell Grandpa every 5 minutes but I won't be able to say anything more to Grandpa and neither Can he you are pathetic for having done what you did you are pathetic for having to prived my son of his last grandfather and I am crying and F you soon afterwards a folder would be found on Dominique's computer titled around my daughter naked it's just photos of his daughter naked those two photos there are at least 72 suspects in this case only 51 have been ided and tracked down and are going on trial Currently their ages
range from 26 years old to 73 years old they seem so ordinary these perpetrators they have regular jobs one is a firefighter there's an IT worker from a bank a prison guard a nurse journalists soldiers Carpenters truck drivers which side not the firefighter is said to have essayed Jazelle wearing parts of his firefighter uniform so it seems like it was agreed upon like he wanted to wear parts of his uniform because it would Help with his fantasy these people were described in France as Mr everybody that's the terminology they use meaning that they could be
anybody it could be everybody many of them are fathers to very young children most of them are married in relationships others are single some of them are grandparents one of them only lives a few blocks away within walking distance of jizelle and Dominique's house he even visited pretending to check out bicycle wheels For sale that never existed jizelle remembers meeting him he was nice she thought she would see him around at the bakery always polite she never knew that he was coming around to essay her whenever he felt like it most of them are facing
20 years in jail for aggravated assault if they're convicted a few of them have been accused of abuse by others too and a few of them are accused of coming back as many as six times times to assault Jazelle and five Of them while their Electronics were searched they found CP on their computers jizelle does not remember or cannot identify a single one of them except that neighbor a few of them tried to argue that they had no idea that jezelle was not consenting others flat out denied it was essay one of them straight up
said it's fine it's his wife he does what he likes with her another attorney rep one of the perpetrator States well the relations did in fact Take place but it's part of a game between the husband and wife Dominique and Jazelle my client was invited to take part in it he was not aware that Jazelle was drugged or under any sort of medications which gazelle's attorneys have stated is very vile to even say out loud they say it's been very difficult it is unbearable for Jazelle to hear people say that they thought she was pretending
to be asleep and they were convinced it was consensual she had no Idea what was being inflicted on her she has no memory M of these essays that she suffered for the past 10 years the firefighter insists he didn't know that Jazelle was not consenting he thought she was just so shy she was pretending to be asleep later he admits okay it did excite me that she was unconscious his computer was searched and the police found 728 images of CP as well as a conversation with a man from the same Forum where the man was
Organizing for the firefighter to come into his home to essay his own 15-year-old daughter the man was advertising someone to come essay his daughter while he watched what kind of platform is this what kind of website it's like dark web stuff right yeah that's why it was shut down a I don't know if this person was caught I'm assuming he was a journalist he works for a regional newspaper he's part of the perpetrators he said he was Confused why jelle wasn't moving but the husband told him that she agreed to all of this beforehand so
he just went with it do you believe him well 4,300 images and nearly 300 videos of CP were found on the journalist's computer a 53-year-old construction worker said well I was just doing what he told me to do I don't know why I listened to him he says he just listened to the husband even though there was no threat or risk if he didn't essay the Woman he just didn't ask questions he said said he thought her being unconscious was just part of their little married games fun part of a couple games in prison he
attempted to self exit which side note I'm sure we're going to get more of their names confirmed later on during the trial I've seen some sources of names but I cannot be a th% certain that these are the correct names associated with the exact crimes so I don't want to say their Names yet for the risk of them not being accurate I'm hoping by December when the trial is set to conclude we will have a full list of names all of their crimes as well as their sentencing but it's not because I'm trying to give
them privacy Dominique on the other hand is insisting that none of these men who came to his house gave up going through with these act on his wife given her State he's saying they came into the house they saw her unconscious I didn't force anyone I Didn't threaten anyone I didn't use violence and they still did what they did he said each individual was in possession of their own free will to leave and stop these acts except his wife a 54-year-old electrician stated he never received consent to to do what he did but he doesn't
believe it to be non-consensual he said I didn't get consent but it's not non-consensual why because Dominique the husband was there and he said it was Okay so that's consent we live in a world where at least one man out there that's truly being Ultra Ultra conservative one man out there believes a husband can just give consent on behalf of his wife as a husband you own your wife's body and you can freely dispose of it as you wish actually a few more because another perpetrator said well since the husband was present it's not besides
she never said No in that logic since the prison guard was present it's not assault in prison with a makeshift weapon since the prison guard was present it's not essay within the Prison Walls what are you saying it's just nonsensical a 66-year-old perpetrator agreed saying if it was essay it was on intentionally essay he said he didn't feel remorse because at the end of the day he didn't go there with the intention of essaying Someone so he doesn't feel bad because he's not a bad person because he didn't go there with bad ideas it was
unintentional another one states that he didn't know that she was unconscious because she was lying face down also they say that she was consenting and just pretending to be asleep yet in most of the footage they're all whispering they're actively doing everything to try and not wake her Up in one video another man is heard essaying Jazelle and saying it's crazy she doesn't wake up to which Dominique is heard responding I've been like this for years wow this is the crazy part so a lot of the documented abuse is also Dominique drugging and essaying his
wife another man argued it's not his fault that he essayed Jazelle it was during Co it was lockdowns he's in a long-distance relationship and there's no other way to meet people to have intimate relations So he went on this forum and yeah bad things happened but it was just very unfortunate circumstances yeah Co lockdowns should equate to committing felonies another perpetrator a truck driver just stated that jaizelle being completely submissive and reduced to a pure object truly excited him the IT guy from the bank he denied essaying Jazelle but the police showed him the message
he sent to Dominique that read does the Sleeping pill work let me know when it kicks in because uh I still have 20 minutes of driving ahead to get there there were CP images found on his computer some of the perpetrators during depositions prided themselves in being part of the cck community where they like to participate in having intimate relations with other people's Partners while that partner watches Caroline says about this of all the perpetrators this is the daughter while most of the Perpetrators acknowledge the nonmoral nature of their actions none of them Express empathy
or remorse for the mother they are often unaware that they themselves are dangerous criminals Jazelle says all I have to say is it is an insult to my intelligence these individuals were totally aware of what state I was in I never knowingly took part in any of these things how can you even try and make the public believe that a woman would knowingly take part In all of this to those who deny it was say I say to them for once in your life take responsibility for your acts Caroline says victims are far too often
terrorized muzzled by fear but also prevented by the weight of Shame and guilt my mother like so many other women is guilty of nothing let's refuse the unbearable the reason that this is a big deal is in France it is jaizelle and the victim's right to have a closed door Trial so that they can live the rest of their lives without the press and media help owning them they can live an anonymity which is arguably probably the best for healing nobody knows what happened you get to heal in peace the perpetrators will still be tried
they'll go to prison but it won't be public but that is not what Jazelle wants she and her daughter Caroline have been speaking with other victims of chemical submission and they say why should the Perpetrators get away easy why should they get to hide from the shame Jazelle would be the one to request the trial be public she said the 51 men involved should be confronted with the public gaze and she knows what this means because I mean Jazelle is also Under Fire like not under Fire from the public but everything about her whole life
is getting dug up every Financial detail about her life every text message she's ever being sent is being put into Discovery the fact that she had an affair one time in their 50 yearlong marriage is also being brought up over and over and over again she has to bring it up be questioned everything about their personal lives is being laid bare so it's not just hey let's make this crime public let's talk about what he did everything is becoming public because that's how trials work and she's okay with that she said they should answer for
their crimes to all the People jizelle says you cannot want to help victims if you yourself are ashamed of being one she refuses to have closed door proceedings because quote that's what the attackers would have wanted she wants the shame to change sides so it's no longer on the side of the victims but the shame should be with the perpetrators I've been watching a lot of Chinese dramas lately I say it's to improve my listening and pronunciation skills when it comes to learning Chinese I'm going to be honest I don't know how much I'm really

he called her like hundreds and hundreds of times he talks about how he's excited to host parties and he praises the power of the cocktail of drugs he has her under he also asks other men if they like it in the mode that he likes it they're like what mode he calls it mode he would dress her up in lingerie that she would never willingly purchase or wear so just think about how drug someone has to be for them to be dressed in clothing she Has to be undressed from her pajamas dressed in the lingerie
essay then cleaned up he said that he cleaned his whole wife's body after the assault so she would not wake up suspicious then undress her from that lingerie redress her back into her regular clothing and she she does not have even these hazes she never once said I did have a dream where this man was in the room she never said anything like that she just had no clue what happened I had this dream that My husband was undress nothing this sounds like a surgical level of being sedated I mean perhaps an exaggeration but still
for her to not have even a slight recollection of events or even a slight suspicion I wouldn't be surprised if the amount of drugs she was given was damaging her brain on a consistent basis one expert comments on the case her state was likely closer to a coma than to sleep he even teaches others to drug Their partners he mentions if your wife smokes it can alter the effects of the dosage so take that into consideration like a little helpful hint from your neighborly friend another helpful hint it's better when mixed with a little alcohol
if you read the back of laraz him or ambient you should never mix it with alcohol it's so dangerous for your body but he's encouraging it because it works stronger I mean there's clearly a sense of Pride when he gets his wife Into a coma-like state he would even post last time I didn't force myself enough on the dosage but now I did so we're good to go meaning he upped the dosage he would also send these handdrawn sketches maps of where to park their car at the park how to walk on foot to their
house without triggering any motion cameras or anything of neighbors remember how he never asked for financial compensation or a tradeoff For the crimes that were committed on Jazelle he did indeed though go to other people's homes Dominique was not just the one inviting rers over he was also an R worder he would go to other people's homes with the intention of essaying drugged wives drugged victims it doesn't appear he that it's the same men that were coming to assault Jazelle but still he had been the drugger the filmer the facilitator but also the assaulter he
writes on the Forum that one time he was caught trying to assault a woman he says it was a failed operation that night he walked into the bedroom and the victim had clearly suspected her husband she did not drink whatever he had put in her glass she poured it down the sink she pretended to be asleep to see what the was going on before turning on the light she heard Ling she heard Whispering she heard someone coming in she whips on the light Dominique is in the room trying to Pull off his pants and he
writes on the Forum I was like a rabbit trapped in the headlights of a car damn I thought I was done for I was pulling down my pants boom lights turn on she's standing up next to the bed the rest of the post goes on to scold the host husband for his lack of vigilance he says he screwed up the entire plan he could have ruined this all is how he puts it and then what happened he just left he just left wow will these women ever get Justice do They know what's happening because I
don't think this is the only woman that Dominique went and Essay or that is being offered up on these websites or forums by their husbands Caroline says how many victims have been my father exactly the question is dizzying other new findings include there is in an occasion where Dominique had taken Jazelle to visit their daughter Caroline at her house in Paris On the drive back home Jazelle does not remember a single thing this is in the middle of the day they're road tripping back home morning time the whole thing is worrisome for the whole family
because she's calling her kids like I don't remember a single thing from that drive it's been reported that Dominique drugged his wife so he could have her be essayed at the truck rest stops on the highway Jazelle does not remember a thing past leaving Caroline's house and Getting back home but it's she never sleeps in cars I'm also like this like when you are someone who doesn't sleep in cars even if you're on a road trip maybe 30 minutes she slept for 8 hours she said the whole time she doesn't REM she must have been
asleep because she doesn't remember a single thing and the kids are like this doesn't make sense he would also tie his wife to the bed during some occasions there were other occasions like once when Caroline And her family went on a vacation Dominique and jaelle came over house sit the authorities found videos of Jazelle being unconscious and essayed by a 34-year-old man in Caroline's house in his daughter's house the assault lasted several hours when Caroline was shown screenshots of the video to verify that it was her house she said how could he commit these acts
of just barbarianism in my home in my privacy how are we Going to be able to live normally in this house after all of this but the authorities tell her that's not all they found a few more photographs and it's Jazelle unconscious dressed in black lingerie in Caroline's bedroom of her vacation home they asked Caroline if they could stay in her vacation home and even there he was inviting strangers over that specific assault in the vacation home lasted more than 5 hours Caroline says knowing strangers have entered my home to abuse my mother is unbearable
I feel like vomiting Dominique in general has had some very odd responses to questions during this whole investigation he has excuses for everything at one point he told the investigators he only started drugging his wife because he wanted her to dress in these lingerie clothes and stuff and she would have never agreed to it because she's so modest so he started Drugging her just so he could see his beautiful wife in these clothings and then eventually that led to him inviting others to participate he doesn't appear to be mentally ill even though that is like
a mentally ill sentence to state but court documents state that he described feeling the quote need to be all powerful over the female body he has heard calling us wife a hundreds of times in the videos while She's being essayed by strangers he refers to his wife as a he then later tells the judge he meant that as a compliment he meant that as a compliment and in front of the judge he only refers to his wife as a saint the love of my life she is a saint which is fascinating because he was just
calling her hundreds of times in the crime videos he States Jazelle was his first love the only love of his whole life he really really loves her yet folders on his computer are Titled my her abuses Dominique was asked if he was attracted to his daughter to which he responds he does not remember having those photos of his daughter nude in his possession even though he must have drugged her and fully put her into lingerie and then taken those pictures he States yes she is my daughter but that doesn't mean anything to me and you
can see that in addition she is way too young compared to what I'm usually into she's not my type at all I never touched My daughter which is a very weird response Caroline said hearing those words she felt quote an unquenchable rage but the biggest Revelation came in March 4 months after after the initial Supermarket investigation 4 months later both the two brothers fake names Julian and Thomas their wives were asked to come to the police station no way photos were found of the Daughter-in-laws when he would visit it doesn't appear that they were drugged
it appears that he hid cameras in their bathroom and bedrooms to take pictures and videos of them changing and getting nude he would hide cameras in his bathroom whenever they came to visit and stay for the weekend he would post pictures of them onto these CD forums and oddly enough one of the crimes against one of his daughter-in-laws started when she became pregnant with His grandchild which is a lot to unpack like psychologically in another picture of his other daughter-in-law he had um taken a picture of his computer screen with his daughter-in-law in the computer
screen and in that same photo he's just aggressively self-pleasuring himself to his daughter-in-law he would then post those photos online with filthy degrading comments against his family members and Side note he would even post the pictures of his own daughter Caroline right and they discovered that he's actually taken a few more photos of her getting undressed as recently as 2020 so in those it doesn't appear that she's drugged but when she was visiting he would hide hidden cameras throughout the house here's the crazy part he always referred and captioned his daughter's explicit photo photos as
his wife's daughter he never said this is my Daughter he referred to her as wife's daughter Caroline says he disassociates himself from his status as a father because he sees us as mere objects yeah even with all of that coming to light he still has the audacity to write to one of his sons my son I have thought for a long time since my detention before writing to a member of the family I think your sensitivity as an artist will be able I hope to transmit these Few words which will be the last as a
correction to all I will respect your silence which I understand I try to do my best until these last terrible dark years of my personality I'm thinking of all of you I miss you all very much I wish everyone many beautiful things in your lives I miss all the little ones even if the last one is unknown to me maybe it's better that way know that your mom is and will still remain the love of my life like all of you I will Never forget your mother I am aware of the harm and shame I
have done to you and I'm treating myself here for this the deprivation of Liberty is less difficult to Bear than the deprivation of your absences I love you all and I kiss you all sorry Dad what Caroline would State no women in our family was spared by my father Dominique has pled guilty of the charges against him but there will still be a trial he has charges of aggravated Administration of harmful substances invasion of privacy by fixing recording or transmitting the image of a person of a nature a panel of five judges will determine the
verdict and sentencing in December the evidence against Dominique I mean there's no way he couldn't plead guilty he had even gone out of his way to hide the medications he was drugging his own wife with he put them in the garage in one of his hiking boots that he barely wears and inside that hiking Boot is a sock in underneath that sock were the medications which by the way he was using a combination of lorazapam and ambian lorazapam is typically used to treat anxiety disorders it's a benzodiazapine it essentially causes these calming chemicals in your
brain to work better it essentially tells your nerves to relax slow down you will feel less anxious less worried a bit sleepier and your muscles will Relax it's pretty strong it makes people feel very sleepy you're not allowed to drive you're not supposed to drive or even ride a bike while taking lorazapam it's more often than not used as a short-term medication more severe side effects include which at this point Jazelle was likely feeling some of these severe side effects weakness slurred speech blurred vision memory problems short-term memory loss loss of consciousness and coma and
death in Severe cases most medical professionals will typically advise if you experience even a little bit of any of these above symptoms you need to seek medical attention immediately and overdose of lahham is life-threatening side note a lot of people think that the doctor should also be investigated because he's getting a lot of these prescribed to him he's getting a ton of laras pan and ambm 450 tablets in the space of a year which is a lot additional evidence on top of That he has all these files saved under abuses he posted photos of his
family members all over the Internet with degrading comments the evidence is seemingly never ending and it does not appear that he's going to be finishing off off this trial with the potentially last remaining ounce of dignity that he may have he has since since the start of this trial this month taken to trying to make it seem like his wife Jazelle had multiple Affairs outside of their Marriage he has also tried yeah he's also tried to blame this on the fact that his dad was not a good man he also alleges that he was essayed
as a child when he was hospitalized at one point for a sickness that is now caused something in his brain to get messed up he is facing 20 years in prison what 20 years how is that possible yeah 20 years so people are upset about that they're trying to get more how old is he he is 71 now a lot of people wonder how are There really no signs at all I mean no suspicions throughout the 50 years because you know I think in a lot of cases people say they're the perfect couple they're the
perfect couple and then you get these court documents and you're like well they were the perfect couple on the outside but look at all the people next to them that saw all these signs right so people are unsettled about this case because it truly feels like they were the perfect Couple like there's no the whole family was confused as well were they just extra oblivious was it right in front of their face this whole time and they just didn't see it would anybody else have seen it in the book Caroline tries to recount any and
all red flags that might have come up over the years because maybe it can help somebody else m M and she says there's really none these are the only ones jizelle had a falling out with one of her best friends from College this best friend would often come over to stay with the family but jelle's kids knew her well they loved her they all like her one day she's just no longer part of their lives the story that gazelle's kids heard were little bits and pieces and there was some sort of big falling out between
Jazelle and her best friend and for some reason their dad Dominique was a big part of it gizelle's best friend told her Dominique has been trying to be inappropriate with Me while I've been staying at your house she told Jazelle you don't know who you live with you don't know the man that you're sleeping with it's time to open your eyes your husband is not who you think he is and she backed her husband there was no proof she spoke to the friend got her side of the story spoke to her husband got his side
of the story but you have to remember she met her husband when they were 18 they got married she met this friend in College they at this point had probably been together at least 20 years mhm yeah I'm not saying this is what I would do in this situation I'm just saying a lot of people can see why she may have chosen to more or less believe her husband they have this whole life together and this has never happened before it's not like multiple friends had said this to her jaizelle tried to question Dominique he
just denied everything after this her and her College best friends stopped talking for good 20 years of friendship just destroyed looking back Caroline thinks this was the beginning of her dad's Insidious hold on their mother eventually it just got worse when gizelle's mysterious health problems would get worse he told her you can't drive you can't go out alone she couldn't remember things her husband was the only one there for her to remember hey honey you got to remember to do this You got to do this I will go shopping you can't go shopping I will
do this out of love because your health isn't good you can't take care of the finances it's too stressful I will take care of the finances at the time I'm sure jaelle felt very grateful that she had someone that wasn't annoyed with her health issues but rather wanted to Shield her from the world instead turns out he's drugging her and letting men assault her side note when Jazelle divorces him she Realizes that he wasn't just managing the finances out of love he had taken out significant loans in her name almost all the loans are in
her name not only did he shatter her entire existence but he left her in a pile a mountain of debt to crawl out of while she's trying to recover from this level of betrayal obviously this is not a sign of anything but Caroline writes in her book about her her father never made her uncomfortable but her father's father Had so Caroline's Grandpa Dominique's dad had been married for most of his life and together with his wife he they had adopted this little girl named Lucille so this is Dominique's adoptive sister after Dominique's mom passes his
dad ends up marrying the adopted daughter the one that he raised since she was little everyone called it in the family an incestuous inappropriate relationship with a vulnerable person She's 30 years younger they were she was 25 when they got married I mean he raised her and now he's marrying her and is practically full on abusing her Caroline remembers going to Grandpa's house seeing Lucille step Grandma she's 25 she can hardly write she's not even allowed to change the TV or radio station without her husband's consent all she does all day long is run errands
for him put the laundry away put the dishes away like a prisoner sometimes They would see her go out into the back Garden staring off into the Horizon and she would just pick at fistfuls of her hair she would literally rip out fistfuls of her hair as a trauma response in this case after her quote husband's death she was hospitalized not from grief but likely from the PTSD of trauma and abuse everyone practically disowned the grandpa at this point including Dominique he never confronted his father About it he just backed away nobody wanted to associate
with him anymore I mean is weird Caroline now thinks back and says to her father from your father you really took the worst a few other red fogs there was this strange incident in 2011 the youngest brother Julian and his future wife are going to visit the parents they were staying with them for the weekend one day Julian's future wife comes up to him and she's looking so uncomfortable a little panicked what's Going on on she had just caught Dominique aggressively self-pleasuring sitting behind his computer screen in his office but the door was left wide
open I mean he has guess over either he forgot which is strange I mean maybe but it it's almost like he wanted someone to catch him it's it's not like he was home alone imagine you have guests over staying with you for the weekend you leave the door it's weird it's weird yeah recently Jazelle has stated that There was one incident in around 2011 where she woke up in the middle of the night to Dominique having intimate relations with her she knows now in 2024 it's it was our word because she didn't consent at that
point and yeah you still need to get consent from your significant other she just asked what are you doing and then went back to sleep she said in that moment she thought I mean I thought he had the urge to do it and we were married so I didn't Take it any further there was another incident in 2015 when jaelle looked looked over and saw a text message from an unknown number pop up on Dominique's phone the text read I did not receive the photos yet she's like who's that from he gave some sort of
excuse at the time that made sense in another instance Dominique gave her a beer to drink but it had this very strange green Hue to it and she was Upset she wanted to take it back to the store to let them know hey we got a bad batch can we get a new beer can we get another case of beer he quickly took it from her poured it down the sink and was like you're being dramatic we don't have to do all of that she didn't think anything of it she just thought maybe I'm being
a Karen like you know maybe I don't need to do that mhm other signs include Dominique was very bad with money but that hardly counts as a sign Caroline remembers growing up he just was always in need of money and would never pay her back he would even go into her savings and take all the money that she earned from her summer jobs which is also explains how he does not care to leave his wife in a pile of debt other things would include Dominic was obsessed with taking pictures of jaizelle just going about her
normal everyday life she found it very annoying she would tell him stop could you stop But he said you should be pleased that after 50 years your husband still wants to take photos of you she said at that moment she thought I mean it was flattering perhaps but it annoyed me and I told him to stop anyway he did ask her casually one time do you want to try swinging okay so yes these isolated incidents of me telling you back to back seemed like a lot of signs but he never pressured her he never asked
again and this is in the span of like 50 years she Said categorically no I will never do swinging never brought it up again never pressured her nothing yeah I'm sure she's doubting every single yes you know every single conversation everything yeah that's all she could have found which means how good at masking he is right yes and there's one incident that I do think is much more alarming but I don't think it ties to this so when she was caught for her Affair he grabbed her by the collar Of her shirt and slammed her
up against the wall in Anger the kids witnessed this I think at that moment they also wrote it off as like a very sticky situation she was having an affair and yeah so I mean that's about it really that they could come up with unless there's going to be New Revelations that are revealed during the trial but yeah he truly was so good at masking there was not even an inkling that he was drugging her not even a Single suspicion of any of this truly there is no way the family could have suspected anything like
this going on Caroline said he was the one who took me to school early in the morning to avoid me taking the bus he never hesitated to pick me up on weekends at any time of the night before I pass my driver's license he would pick me up from my friend's house he always made sure to comfort me when I was heartbroken or when my mother and I disagreed and got Into a fight he would take my side the only thing he always told his kids were may your journey of Life be better than mine
he said that was his only wish as a father that their journey of Life be easier and better than his I mean to them it just seems like there's clearly there's small things little little things here and there but nothing that would ever make them suspect that Dominique is doing this I mean maybe some things suspect like okay He's not a good person he's not good with his finances he's a little strange he definitely shouldn't have slammed his wife up against the wall it did never happen again it seems but still not acceptable it just
in comparison to All Families out there there's nothing so standout alarming that would make them freak out ultimately their lives were so ordinary too ordinary Caroline says I think of us as happy I thought my parents were very happy Jazelle says we Had everything we had a great life I don't understand how this could have happened we had it all we had everything we needed to be happy while all of this is unfolding Jazelle has filed for divorce when she first found out about the secret tapes the abuse she said she had thoughts of self-
exiting she said I feel dirty soiled betrayed it's a tsunami I've been hid by a highspeed train but she wants to see it through for her kids and other Victims she said almost to her husband at this point during the trial this is during the opening days this month my world is falling apart for me everything is falling apart everything I have built over the years frankly those videos are scenes of horror for me I'm laying on the bed motionless being essay they treat me like a ragd doll like a garbage bag it's barbaric don't
talk to me about scenes those are there are at least 200 scenes of Essay 90 by strangers the rest are Dominique recording himself essaying his wife while she was drugged some of the assaults lasted 6 hours long and side note she said their intimate life was very normal they were very intimate and had good relations there was no inkling that he kept asking her to try quote darker stuff you know there's no nothing there was no like hey pretend to be asleep there was nothing Caroline Dominique's daughter Has stated in her book being the child
of the victim and the child of the perpetrator is a terrible burden in an instant my life wavered in a dizzying way the past has been swept away but for what future our family shipwreck is like a labyrinth where for nearly 2 years each step forward has opened a new door to more sworded Revelations I tried in vain to detect didn't understand the true identity of the man who raised me even today I wonder how I did not see Anything not having suspected anything I will never forgive what he committed over so many years yet
I still have the image of the father I thought I knew I still dream of him he talks to me in my dreams and we laugh we are together waking up brings me back to a nightmare now I miss my father not the one who will stand before the judges but the man who took care of me for 42 years I loved him so much before discovering this whole monstrosity how can I calmly Prepare to face him in trial she says about him going to prison at first a voice Whispers to me has he been
able to adapt to prison life does he suffer from our absence from loneliness what about the violence in the closed environment a second voice screams at her this is Justice when you see the harm he's done to us to Mom to us to our family he is reaping what he swed and he deserves it this is probably one of the most Powerful books I've read in a really long time the way she writes is just so raw and unforgivingly honest I mean she writes about how with the upcoming trial she's scared she says I'm afraid
I won't be able to hate him and she wants to tell him the happy image of our family has been shattered now you are the organizer of orgies and you're a terrible liar mom tells me about your last breakfast you had together absolutely normal how much Incense sincity is required for someone to convincingly show a near comical level of Tranquility for all these years what if an overdose had killed my mom what if she hadn't woken up Not For a Moment did my father ever think that my mom's heart might not hold Caroline says I
feel betrayed and I feel ashamed to be a daughter of this torture and just because the whole family is solid to some degree after this it's not like they can just lean on Each other and move on they are now but in the beginning in 2020 when all of this was unfolding it was very rough everyone was recovering slightly differently for example in the very very beginning Caroline remembers sometimes mom would worry out loud almost like she had quote Stockholm syndrome she would hear her mom almost rambling your father is not your father is not
well where he is he's suffering you know I must have missed something in the last few years I Must have missed a sign Caroline would have to walk away or hang up the phone she almost felt betrayed by her mom in the beginning because not only does her mom know about the photos of Caroline but she feels like she's almost sighing with her dad worrying about her dad why isn't she using all that energy to worry about herself or her children or her grandchildren who are going to be without a grandfather she says I can't
believe this my mother watches over the Comfort of the man who for 10 years then Caroline finds out why her father is barred from reaching out to his family but he wrote this letter to a family friend to be delivered to Jazelle who Caroline refers to as his puppet the letter reads my friends I know that I disappointed you but you are my only link with the outside world because I'm not allowed to contact my family that I miss terribly apart from the anguish The Fear The Emptiness the loneliness here It is awful I know
I'm here to pay for what I've done to the love of my life to my family to my friends but it's too late I don't know where I'm going and how it's going to end I come to you you in the name of the past friendships because I need you to pick up some things for me to drop off at the entrance of the prison my light brown jacket My Adidas jacket my Nike sneakers a big gray wool sweater and a belt without a big Buckle if you still have a little friendship for me I
ask you to be indulgent AKA send money to my commissary I'm in jail for a long time and I'm asking myself so many questions about everything what is going to become home and everything else the worst here is the boredom we only go out for an hour a day on walks and there are two of us per cell it's quite hard for me I don't sleep at night I lose weight but that's probably what I deserve the end Of the year without family is going to be very sad for me I hope my love will
get over it that's what I want I love her so much I realize it even more here now even though she has filed for divorce she will remain my eternal love she is a saint and I have not been able to keep her and if you can send me mail the addresses of my three children I don't remember any of them by heart what yeah he wants to write to his kids to Jazelle and to one of Caroline's Brothers the letter ignited a tiny bit of sympathy which is exactly what Dominique would have wanted for
Caroline and her older brother they found the letter even more pathetic so it caused briefly a rift yeah to which Caroline shows to a judge the letter like look he's trying to get in contact and ruin our lives soon enough he writes another letter blaming Caroline stating that because of her everyone in prison knows what he's in there for he writes I'm Going to be lynched in here it's unforgiving it's urgent I'm going to have to self exit at least I will try to hold out for as long as I can I'm not looking for
pity just a little Comfort life is too hard here especially with Caroline's anger Caroline would finally write to him 3 months of incarceration and already four facius letters you always knew what you were doing and still do to this day the only difference is I know Know who you are now we all know I ask you from now on to stop your manipulation I will go to the end of this we will go all the way because to me you no longer exist and you never will there were a lot of frustrating times where Caroline
and her mom's grief just did not line up while Caroline wanted to rewrite all of her past memories with the truth it seems like her mom just wanted to leave the past in the past as good memories she would tell Her daughter you forget that he was not always the devil you describe he has done so much for you but also for your brothers I was happy with him I loved him so much and I prefer to remember the good times so she's like I just want to remember those as good times and this is
a separate life now eventually Caroline will come to understand her mom cuz it's also jelle's first time going through all of this and life this is also her way of protecting herself she writes my Mom can't accept reality to admit that my father dangerously and deliberately manipulated her to degrade her because if she recognizes her husband's true nature she would collapse on the spot everyone looks at her and says she's a strong woman but inside she's a pile of ruins gazelle says everything inside needs to be rebuilt during all of this before the trial Thomas
the eldest son welcomed another child to the family he texted a Picture to the family group chat of his new baby boy with the text message welcome to the world our son we have lost a large Oak Tree on which we like to rest Dominique but we have gained a new Young Chute like a seed that we will have to protect Caroline writes in her book our family history has at least revealed a social phenomenon that is still largely underestimated in France chemical submission is in the interf family and Social sphere it is much more
widespread than we think we all know about date but can we imagine being chemically drugged and abused by a loved one with medication straight out of the family's medicine cabinet according to France's drug secur Authority 42% of quote credible reports of date drug usage in 2021 happened in the private sphere so not at bars not at clubs it was between people who already knew each other the effect of what chemical submission does To a family I mean it's pretty clear Caroline says about her dad I had peace you annihilated it many French netizens are calling
for this trial to help raise awareness of abuse of chemical submission within families and it's not just within families it's within the whole social sphere many women in France have said the idea of an R worder is still very much in France the creepy man in the alleyway but in reality it can very often be someone you know more Likely than not it's someone you interact with for example a senator in France 2023 recently a senator in France Joel allegedly drugged lawmaker sandreen by allegedly slipping ecstasy into her champagne at his house for like a
work function with the intention of essaying her this is just weird he kept insisting that they toast champagne several times and she's like why is he so adamant she takes the champagne it's unusually sweet When she finally drink it she starts feeling palpitation sweating her legs start shaking she leaves she's like I got to go to the hospital something is not right with me I feel like I'm going to die wow and he's following her to the Courtyard he's like trying to get her not to leave she finally gets into the taxi gets to the
hospital tells them everything and she even says there was this weird thing he just kept turning on and off like he has a light dimmer he Keeps dimming it on and off right why the hospital said that increases the effectiveness of ecstasy perhaps that was why he was doing that regardless the police search Joel's home they find ecstasy in his apartment to which his whole argument so far has been it's more so a handling error he wasn't trying to drug her he just mishandled the Ecstasy because I also have ecstasy tied to the inside of
my sleeves when I pour My guest champagne and if it's slips it's mishandling he has been suspended and the case is being investigated but the lawmaker sandreen hopes that this will draw attention to the use of drugs to pre on women chemical submission netizens have also pointed out to this case it just doesn't make sense that jaizelle had gone to so many doctors neurologists gynecologists during the time that this was happening and nobody Even theorized this could have been the answer nobody even suggested it to her and she was like no no no there's no
way there's not even training for doctors to pinpoint what someone's suffering from something like this would look like many activists have also stated it's time for France to change some of its older verbiage of how they Define the criminal act of R wording by the French law it is defined as sexual penetration committed by violence coercion or Surprise many lawmakers want to change the wording to say explicitly it happens anytime there is not consent consent can be withdrawn at any moment at any time and consent cannot exist when someone is impaired one thing to note
is chemical submission is not only very hard to detect it's also very difficult to treat in the book Caroline writes briefly about how when all of this was happening she started having these crazy panic Attacks I don't know if it's a translation or if the word that was used but she would go into these states of Hysteria she was losing her mind I mean nobody had ever seen her like this to the point where she is hospitalized she goes into the mental psychiatric ward and she's in a state of extreme distress the doctors basically prescribe
her and force her to take the exact pills that she was drugged they're like you cannot leave Until you take these anti-anxiety meds you cannot leave until you take these sleeping medications which is the last thing someone with this type of trauma is going to want to take but they tell her take the pills against your will like your trauma or stay hospitalized so it's just another of the same exact type of trauma she would have to agree to take the pills to get out but it's just it's very unfortunate now this is where it
gets crazy there are Going to be potentially other trials for Dominique he is being investigated in the essay and murder of a 23-year-old woman in 1991 and the attempted essay of a 19-year-old in 1999 where some reports State a realtor was showing a house when a man pretending to be a prospective buyer shows up with a box cutter trying to essay her she manages to escape According to some reports he has admitted to the attempted essay in 1999 But he denies being involved in the murder even though the same MMO was used they were both
Realtors showing houses and there was attempted essay involved or full essay in the murder case now get this part remember how he gets arrested for taking pictures up skirt at the supermarket that was actually his second time getting arrested for that he was arrested before but jelle never knew about it cuz they were like you have no priors you're free to go they take his DNA samples and they do nothing with it they don't test it in the data base and they just submit it now the second time he's arrested they I believe they had
just opened up a bunch of closed cases a 1999 attempted Essay Case gets opened up again mhm DNA is a match and that is why they search all of his stuff and they build this case against him wow so it's not just by chance of like hey you are recording people we're going to search all your devices I'm sure they would Have done that maybe anyway if it was the second time but yeah that's what I'm saying like there's no way that at 60 years old or 50 years old is when he started committing these
type of crime that's what people are saying people are saying that he didn't start essaying his wife in 2010 that's when he started recording it like there's just no way yeah and the fact that he's 70 which means that he almost lived his whole life without getting caught yeah which Is and the fact that his family did not catch on to anything also means those 70 people or 50 people would have gotten away too yes and all the other victims that they've also assaulted and the CP files found on their computers they would have like
you're talking about hundreds of people yeah like the repo effect that this is all all would have gone away way without a trace and some neens are saying if he is indeed involved in the 1991 murder he could Very likely have some of the characteristics of a serial killer the way that he's able to compartmentalize his crimes is very serial killer esque it's not just a perverse man mhm which I mean is horrendous already he needs to be thrown in jail but it's a little more extreme than that it's even more scary because nobody how
could he get away his whole life without anyone suspecting anything everybody liked terrifying yeah they Said he was a pleasant guy he was even asked what would have happened if that in the 1999 case of the attempted essay where your DNA was found what would have happened if she hadn't escaped I don't know you were well on your way of essaying her I can't tell you later he would tell the judge that he quote I had no intentions of as saying her I just intended to immobilize her perhaps just to look at her at least
as of right now there's no firm answer On whether or not he will be tried for those crimes Additionally the police identified another woman who was essayed by Dominique at least a dozen times between 2015 and 2020 it seems like this is the one that turned on the light she was in a state of chemical submission because of her husband and Dominique would come and Essay her but the trial might be tricky considering the victim is still in contact with her partner with her Husband husband after he's been incarcerated and she would prefer not to
file a complaint against her husband nor Dominique he may face way longer than 20 years if these go to trial as well but since then Dominique's nieces have been coming forward they said we've actually kind of had a few more signs than other people so this is their Uncle Dominique is their uncle they alleged that when they were younger Dominique their Uncle would have this weird insistence on Playing doctor and he allegedly only agreed to buy them toys if they would undress Dominique has rejected the claims it doesn't seem like they ever told Dominique's wife
or his kids so nobody was alerted it appears I I think they tried to rationalize it in their minds until this came forward and I'm sure everyone around Dominique is thinking wait okay did I experience anything Dominique has since rejected the claims and he said it's disgusting To accuse me of this this is too much I will say most comments about this case are exactly what we're feeling right now but there are some unhinged people out there one person writes all 72 of them in one session her old C must be sore and overflowing first
of all not factual and second of all another comment reads I think that our wers are the ones who needed to take the drugs to commit the act at least for Me I would need a lot of drugs to do that with a 70-year-old another one reads wow who would want to knock up a 70-year-old Sleeping Beauty another reads if the wife had agreed to wife swapping none of this would have happened wow another comment reads women and men are such an Unholy unequal pairing imagine being married to and living under the same roof as
your natural predator and biggest enemy such Strange barbaric compassionless demonic creatures and I do think that this is a very intense comment but for the case and for the intense feelings that a lot of people have of just being fed up I think it's just coming from a place of frustration another comment reads it's pretty alarming that he found 70 people willing to participate in this without one a single one of them turning him into the authorities another comment reads do They still have the guillotine in France other comments about the doctors she's a woman
so likely doctors told her all her health problems were because she should lose her weight and probably her hormones someone theorize it is he didn't just start this 10 years ago he started filming 10 years ago and that's why he's been caught guaranteed this has been happening for decades another comment just simply reads A Bear would never do this others point to a small Survey that was done with a small pool I will say a very small pool but even then it's very alarming but that study indicated that one in three men stated they would
essay a woman if they knew they could get away with it what Carolina said this about her mom my mother has forged a mind of Steel it does not Bend she she loves life whether it is good or bad and the surprises are in store for her she resembles a medieval queen to me neck straight chin High and not a complaint the true heroine standing in the ruins is her she was drugged damaged and thrown to strangers she took the time to listen to us her children mom always encouraged us to go out to move
around to see people to take care of our lives and at the height of Elegance we have never heard her badmouth our father to us people say it's really hard at that age to lose your partner so typically around that age of 70s ' 80s 90s people lose Their partner to death and that's why people say when you're in a relationship for that long you pass soon after your partner because it's just difficult even if you take out the emotional trauma the mental trauma there's a lot of learning to do Caroline's mom I mean Jazelle
had to moved to an area where she didn't know anyone she had to learn to live on her own again drive a car maintain a house manage paperwork all the things that he had been doing she had to Relearn she's got to meet new people while going through this trial while trying to get rid of all this trauma and she says all that was left for me a 50 years of life together were two suitcases I no longer have an identity I don't know if I will ever rebuild myself Caroline says one of her mom's
favorite motto stands out to her and it's just continue to believe in life and the most beautiful things it has in store for you as for her father Caroline Writes the grav Digger of families the murderer of memories and she says in the heart of the Carnage my mother's hand is still in mine this Carnage here it is so the two of them are facing it together with the two brothers and their families Caroline started an awareness campaign called don't put me to sleep to fight against drug facilitated essays and as for right now the
