French man drugged wife every night, Then recorded 51 men raping her: Report

An alleged French man drugged his wife every night before inviting men to rape her. The Telegraph reported that during the ten years that the shocking practice with the unknowing wife persisted, 92 cases of rape were found by investigators.

According to the news source, 51 of these men, who range in age from 26 to 73, have already been apprehended and charged with rape, and police are still looking for more. They are a journalist, a nurse, a prison guard, a firefighter, a truck driver, a municipal councilors, and an IT worker for a bank.

The anti-anxiety medication Lorazepam, which the Frenchman, identified as Dominique P by The Telegraph, allegedly mixed into his wife’s meal, caused him to allegedly carry out the attacks.

The sleeping woman, identified by the outlet under the pseudonym Francoise, was then invited by him to perform sex acts on them in their Mazan, France, home by the ‘guests’.

As the French man drugged his wife every night, according to the report, Dominique would record the assaults and store the video in a file called “ABUSES” on a USB drive, which is now in the possession of the police.

According to the police, the alleged rapes occurred between 2011 and 2020, with the majority of the men returning more than once.

Dominique and Francois were married for more than 50 years and had three children together.

According to The Telegraph, he met the men on a depraved internet forum called “a son insu” (“without him/her knowing”) where members discuss having sex with their drugged, unknowing partners in a way that is non-consensual.

Investigators claim that Dominique forbade the use of tobacco and perfume in order to prevent his wife from being awakened by strong odors. He also instructed the men to park their cars close to a school, enter the house in the dark, washes their hands in hot water to prevent sudden temperature changes, undress in the kitchen rather than the bathroom, and avoid leaving any clothing there.

While speaking to investigators, some claimed they had no idea his wife was not consensual while one denied it was rape, saying: “It’s his wife, he does what he likes with her.”

French newspaper Le Monde quoted the prosecutors as saying that Dominique “never used violence or threats” to ensure the rapes took place, adding: “Each individual was in possession of his free will to stop these acts and leave.”

He insisted that none of the attackers “gave up going through with sexual acts on his wife given her state”.

During a preliminary investigation into Dominique in 2020, when he was suspected of using a hidden camera to record women in changing rooms, police discovered the alleged rape videos.

The woman broke down and struggled with depression when she learned about the tapes. Later on, the woman divorced.
