Undoubtedly, the mastermind behind this sick scheme, Dominique, received the maximum penalty of 20 years imprisonment for “aggravated rape”.
To the chagrin of various feminist groups, the sentences for Dominique's co-defendants were generally more lenient than requested. Furthermore, as per The European Conservative, “the police were able to establish the existence of 92 rapes, committed by at least 73 different men.” This means that some men involved in raping or sexually assaulting Gisèle’s are currently scot-free.
As per an article by Channel News Asia (CNA), “only the sentence given to Dominique Pélicot was fully in line with what prosecutors demanded.”
In remarks quoted by CNA, an unnamed family member said that the three Pélicot children “are disappointed by these low sentences”, elaborating that there was “no question” of any of the children wanting to speak to their father.
“The court has proved Gisèle Pélicot right: shame can change sides,” said feminist group the Fondation des Femmes (Women's Foundation), while maintaining that it “shared the incomprehension and disappointment at some of the sentences handed down, despite the witnesses and the evidence”.
Its beginning was pornographic society. Gisèle Pélicot’s ordeal had its origins in the reign of digital perversion available to everyone.
The Mazan affair involving the rape and sexual assault of Gisèle Pélicot is revolting, to say the least. As a woman, I can only try to commiserate with the indescribable agony and trauma faced by Gisèle Pélicot.
Yet rather than focus on Gisèle’s healing and well-being, some leftist ideologues have sought to politicize the Mazan trial for their own agendas, criticizing the “patriarchy” and “toxic masculinity” as the causes of Gisèle’s present misery.
For instance, in statements quoted by the BBC, a motley crew of French men, comprising “actors, singers, musicians and journalists”, wrote and published a letter in the Libération newspaper, claiming that the Pelicot case proved that male violence “is a matter of men, of Mr Everyman”, and that “all men, without exception, benefit from a system that dominates women”.
However, these aforementioned “actors, singers, musicians and journalists” have failed to identify the actual cause underpinning Dominique’s (and his co-defendants’) decision to rape and assault a comatose Gisèle.
As Hélène de Lauzun of The European Conservative put it, “the roots of the evil that came to the fore at the Mazan trial are to be found elsewhere”. Adding, de Lauzun aptly stated the real root cause of the Mazan rape affair:
“Its beginning was pornographic society. Gisèle Pélicot’s ordeal had its origins in the reign of digital perversion available to everyone. Dominique Pélicot regularly frequented gloomy websites and fed his imagination with dubious practices. One day, he went from being a spectator to a director. He recruited his actors on a forum where other enthusiasts of deviant practices met. In this respect, Dominique Pélicot is just a small part of the huge and rapidly expanding galaxy of amateur pornography which, according to the experts, is in the process of competing in terms of content production with the more ‘traditional’ circuits of the pornographic industry. Platforms such as Onlyfans, or in France, the Jacquie et Michel website, are encouraging this trend. For some years now, the web has been teeming with ‘amateur’ videos, some of which can be shot by private individuals with no production machinery behind them and filmed with a simple phone. This means that anyone can become an improvised ‘producer’ of pornographic material, and at the same time take part, on an individual level, in the dissemination of a new kind of visual content. Dominique Pélicot’s behaviour is emblematic of this ‘fashion.’ He was not content to simply take action and have others take action. He filmed, photographed, filed, and kept records of his misdeeds and those of his accomplices. The responsibility of the pornographic wave in this case helped shape the behaviour of the accused who, like their diabolical mentor, navigate almost daily this bleak world of digital sexuality, which blurs the boundaries between the real and the virtual.”
de Lauzun is spot on when she stated that pornography blurs the boundaries between “the real and the virtual” with dehumanizing acts. According to another report about the Mazan affair, several of the men accused claimed “they believed that she had consented to being drugged and raped as part of a sex fantasy. Some said they did not believe it was rape, because her husband was there and they believed he could consent for both of them.”
In the beginning, pornography fuels this kind of thought process ... Like an addiction, you keep craving something that is harder, harder, something which gives you a greater sense of excitement until you reach a point where the pornography only goes so far.
Put simply, the fact that Gisèle was unconscious did not deter these men (many of who are likely avid consumers of pornography), from sexually assaulting or raping her.
As per a report by EWTN, “more than 65 studies have shown that dangerous offenders (child molesters, killers, rapists, incest fathers) are not only more likely to commit their crimes if they employ pornography, they are likely to precede their violent acts with the extended use of deviant materials.” The same EWTN report added that “thousands of persons have been tortured, raped, and murdered by warped human beings as a direct result of pornography”
Notably, right before he was executed for murder, serial killer Ted Bundy admitted to Dr. James Dobson of Focus on the Family about the effects of pornography:
“In the beginning, it [pornography] fuels this kind of thought process ... Like an addiction, you keep craving something that is harder, harder, something which gives you a greater sense of excitement until you reach a point where the pornography only goes so far, you reach that jumping-off point where you begin to wonder if maybe actually doing it would give you that which is beyond just reading or looking at it.”
Pornography evidently destroyed Gisèle’s marriage and family. Sadly, Gisèle is not the only victim of our lust-infested culture. As per a 2002 press release from the American Academy of Matrimonial Lawyers that Catholic Answers cited, 56 percent of all divorces involved “one party having an obsessive interest in pornographic websites”.
Yet in the mainstream pornified media, vital discussions about pornography and its debilitating effects are few and far between.
As de Lauzun concluded:
“The Mazan trial is therefore a stolen trial. The real trial will not take place, because we would have to talk about family, morality, decency, and human dignity.”
May the most pure Virgin Mary, and Her chaste spouse St. Joseph, pray for us!
