Summary
A Lyon bodyguard faces trial for allegedly drugging and raping his partner, with shocking ties to Dominique Pelicot—a convicted rapist who sedated his wife before assaults and inspired a nationwide reckoning. The bodyguard, who worked globally protecting VIPs, is accused of filming attacks and possessing child abuse material. Investigators uncovered his communications with Pelicot during a 2020 probe, sparking debate over whether he learned from the convicted predator’s methods. The victim, who suffered years of unexplained blackouts and dizziness, now seeks justice as the trial nears its end—exposing a chilling pattern of sedative abuse and the legal fight to hold perpetrators accountable.
