The French man accused of inviting dozens of men to rape his wife while he filmed — allegedly participated in the act as well … this according to prosecutors in France.
Dominique Pelicot — who is on trial for allegedly filming 20,000 clips of his wife being raped by 83 men in multiple occurrences over the course of several years — is also accused of filming himself raping his drugged wife with three other men, the Daily Mail reports.
Prosecutors say Pelicot directed other men in most of the clips … though they claim there are multiple videos of Pelicot himself actively participating in the rape of his wife, Gisele.
In addition, authorities say Pelicot had a nude photo of his daughter on his phone.
The daughter — reportedly hearing this information for the first time in court — stormed out of the trial yesterday … and, outlets say she’s worried she too was drugged and abused.
Pelicot was discovered with the alleged rape videos after several women accused him of filming upskirt videos of them at a supermarket, leading to a police investigation.
Fifty men who authorities have identified thus far from the videos are also on trial with each facing up to 20 years in prison if convicted.
