A man on trial in France for drugging his wife and inviting dozens of men to rape her over a decade told a criminal psychologist that his wife was to blame for his actions because she wouldn’t go swinging with him.

Dominique Pelicot, 71, was excused from sitting through today’s hearing after his lawyer told the trial judge that he had suffered ‘medical problems’ over the past 48 hours for which he had not received ‘adequate treatment’.

But psychologist Annabelle Montagne told the court in Avignon this morning that she interviewed the retired electrician in December 2020 - a month and a half after he was taken into custody - where he admitted to carrying out the campaign of abuse of his wife Gisele.

‘Pelicot said: ‘‘My wife and I had a discussion about swinging but she didn’t agree so I drugged her’’,’ the psychologist recounted.

Madame Montagne said Pelicot maintained he loved his wife, but she added: ‘He sees his partner as an object to satisfy his sexual and narcissistic needs. His wife is then a partial object and no longer an object of total love.’

    With so many women willing to do anything for money he had to go against his wife’s consent… he belongs behind bars for being dumb.

    I think that’s really all you need. The rest is just… kinda… not good.

        Ok friend, I’ll spell it out for you, just so going forward you don’t have an excuse when making the same mistake.

        With so many women willing to do anything for money

        Other women have nothing to do with this story. With so many other people getting this right, you have no excuse for getting it so wrong.

        he belongs behind bars for being dumb.

        Stupidity isn’t a jailable offense. If it was, I’d have you brought up on charges. Instead, he belongs in jail because he broke the law. He is a terrible person, and his actions are irredeemable, but I could say the same about Mother Teresa. This man belongs in jail because he broke the law.

          I mean, just someone very dumb could do such thing to his wife if out there are a lot of people doing worst shit for money, I get it if he is broke but if not he it’s just being plain dumb that’s it.

        You’re implying that if there weren’t other women willing to do so, it would be ok for him to drug his wife without consent.

          How is he coming close to implying that?

          Sometimes people just piss me off. Reading shit that isn’t there. Read all his comments. Might help you out.

        I’m curious if you consider yourself communist or socialist?

          Beside knowing marxist-leninist theory, I don’t consider myself fully into it. I think there are some stuff which it’s based about it but I believe isn’t realist to believe all the theory it’s law.

            Your prior comment doesn’t agree with it. Thanks for answering.

                No. It just runs counter to what I’ve read.
