Dominique Pélicot

So some of it's just, like, technically, this was the first time in which a lot of this stuff was possible.

Most of the men who found themselves drawn to this kind of content had, again, less experience drugging and assaulting women than Dominique Pelicot.

And so a smaller subset of more experienced users made money and clout providing these newer people with the tools of the trade.

Per CNN, quote, "One Motherless user claimed to be running a business selling and dispatching sleeping liquids to any address in the world.

A lot of people on Coco are pushing folks to their Telegrams in order to like actually do business.

Um, yeah.

So now we return to Coco and the story of Dominique Pelicot.

Uh, in 2018, Coco was involved in its first major crime of national significance.

All right.

So starting in the 2010s, among the boldest members of the Without Their Knowledge, uh, chat room on Coco was Dominique Pelicot.

Uh, per an article in Le Monde by Lorraine DeFoucher, Dominique, quote, "Filmed his daughters-in-law in the bathroom using a telephone hidden in a toiletry bag, then posted the images on Coco.

His grandchildren talked about his insistence on playing doctor or agreeing to buy them toys only if they were undre- to undress." And we're gonna talk a lot about Dominique today and tomorrow because he has since become the most infamous sex offender associated with Coco and arguably the most infamous sex offender in modern French history.

That's entirely possible.

Um, but, uh, yeah, we'll, we'll, we'll, we'll see.

Um, so Dominique Pelicot was born in 1952 according to French newspaper Le Monde.

Nowhere seems to have his exact birthdate except for the Astrodatabank, which is an astrology based wiki that cites its source as a French lawyer named Marc Brun who himself was citing a birth certificate.
