Shocking Case: Truth Revealed by a Single Appeal, Sentenced to 10 Years

One Person's Appeal Against Injustice Uncovers a Monumental Truth

Friends, I have received truly heavy news today. This incident occurred at the Nimes Court of Appeal in southern France. The news is that a severe sentence of 10 years imprisonment has been handed down to a defendant involved in a horrific sexual assault case from June 2019. ⚖️

The Genesis of the Case: A Tragedy Under 'Chemical Submission'

The story dates back to the nights of June 28th and 29th, 2019. It is reported that the victim, Gisèle Pelicot's then-husband, Dominique Pelicot, administered sleeping pills to her, marking the beginning of the incident. Subsequently, a 44-year-old man named Hussein Dogon was accused of exploiting this situation to commit sexual assault. 😔

Even more shocking is the fact that over 50 men have been convicted of sexual assault and rape in connection with this case, under what is termed 'chemical submission' – a method involving drugs to break the victim's will. Horrific crimes, difficult to even imagine, occurred one after another.

A Single Appeal, Another Truth Revealed

Remarkably, among these more than 50 perpetrators, only one, Hussein Dogon, appealed his conviction. He is known to be a father and a businessman.

The Nimes Court of Appeal, which conducted the retrial, imposed a harsher sentence than the first instance, sentencing him to 10 years in prison. This is one year more than the sentence handed down in the initial trial. The French prosecution had originally sought a 12-year sentence, and while the court's decision was lower than the prosecution's demand, it was a strengthened punishment compared to the first trial.

Why Did He Appeal? And What We Should Focus On

A single appeal has, in a way, brought a case that was covered by a monumental truth to the surface. Appealing alone among more than 50 perpetrators was undoubtedly not an easy decision. Could there have been another story hidden behind his appeal? 🤔

This case sends a great shock to our society by revealing a new form of crime: 'chemical submission'. The method of incapacitating the victim's ability to resist using drugs or other chemical substances and then committing crimes can be even more covert and cunning, making it a matter requiring greater vigilance.

Through this case, we deeply empathize with the victim's suffering and are once again reminded of how important it is for justice to be served without injustice. Furthermore, we keenly feel the need for societal attention and effort to ensure that such horrific crimes are never repeated.
