Gisèle Pelicot’s brain froze as the French police officer revealed the unthinkable.

“Fifty-three men had come to our house to rape me,” she recalls him telling her.

Sharing details of the horror that until now had largely been reserved for French courts, Pelicot is publicly telling her story of survival and courage in her own words, in a book and her first series of interviews since a landmark trial in 2024 turned her into a global icon against sexual violence and imprisoned her husband who knocked her out with drugs so other men could assault her inert body.
