She added: “I do not know if he’s a monster, however he completely knew what he did, he isn’t sick. He did every little thing consciously.”
Darian herself believes she was drugged and raped by Pelicot, after footage of her bare and unconscious physique have been discovered among the many detailed data her father saved of his crimes.
Pelicot denied throughout the trial that he had ever abused her as the 2 clashed within the courtroom.

“I do know that he drugged me, in all probability for sexual abuse, however I haven’t got any proof.”
Darian added that she now sees her father as solely “a stranger”.
“I look straight to the felony, to the sexual felony he’s,” she stated.
