French pensioner ‘drugged wife every night for 10 years so he could film at least 51 men raping her without her knowledge’: Husband ‘contacted sex attackers on forum chat site’
- Investigators have identified 92 cases of rape of Françoise by 83 ‘aggressors’
A French man has been accused of drugging his wife every night and then recording at least 51 men raping her while she slept.
The suspect, known as Dominique P, allegedly committed the attacks after mixing the anti-anxiety drug Lorazepam into his wife’s meal. The Telegraph reported.
He then invited his so-called guests to their home in Mazan, France, to perform sexual acts with the sleeping woman, referred to under the pseudonym Françoise.
It is clear that Dominique would record the attacks and save the footage on a USB stick in a file called ‘ABUSES’.
Fifty-one men – aged between 26 and 73 – have been charged with rape and taken into custody. Investigators have identified 92 cases of rape of Françoise by 83 “aggressors,” but have yet to identify all of the alleged assailants.

Dominique, who was married to Françoise for more than 50 years, is said to have found the men on a depraved Internet forum about rape, according to the newspaper.
The alleged assaults took place between 2011 and 2020, with the prosecution claiming Dominique maintains that none of the attackers “gave up sexual acts with his wife given her condition.”
Avignon prosecutors say Dominique “never used force or threats” to ensure the rapes happened, adding, “Each individual was in possession of their free will to stop these acts and leave.”
Some rapists are believed to have come to the house multiple times. Many claim they were unaware that Françoise had not consented to the meetings.
Another, who completely denied it was rape, reportedly said, “It’s his wife, he does what he wants with her.”
Police learned of the rape videos during a 2020 preliminary investigation into Dominique after he was suspected of using a hidden camera to film women in changing rooms.
Françoise, who learned of the attacks after police found the tapes, said she suffered from gynecological problems, frequent fatigue and “absent-mindedness”.
Medical examination also revealed that she was infected with four sexually transmitted diseases.
She is said to have struggled with depression after the attacks and has since filed for divorce.
However, Dominique told the investigating judges that he loves his “holy” wife. His lawyer added that Françoise was “his first love, indeed the only love of his life.”
