Dominique hid the medications in one of his hiking boots in the garage, effectively disguising his malicious activities.

Dominique not only facilitated the assaults but boasted about them in disturbing forums like "Without Them Knowing."

The revelation explained the enigmatic memory loss, physical symptoms, and the sense of disorientation she experienced, all of which had been inadequately addressed by medical professionals. Symptoms such as insomnia, hair loss, rapid weight loss, and a profound confusion had become a frightening part of her daily existence. Giselle's adult children, who noticed her deteriorating health, feared a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease.

During the decade from 2011 to 2020, Giselle was so heavily sedated that she retained no recollection of the assaults, her memory impaired beyond the vague sense of a dream. She experienced episodes where she would deflate like a rag doll, unresponsive and with a blank stare. Even jokes about being drugged led to a tearful reaction from Dominique without an admission of guilt.

Giselle was devastated to learn the extent of the abuse and betrayal by her husband of 50 years, leading her to immediately file for divorce

The impact of discovering the abuse and betrayal by Dominique was earth-shattering for Giselle. Upon learning the truth, she immediately left her husband, packing her belongings and stepping away from the relationship with dignity. She filed for divorce, expressing feelings of being violated and betrayed on an unimaginable scale. The situation was further compounded as Giselle found the abuse videos too unbearable to watch.

Many of the over 50 perpetrators claimed they did not realize Giselle was unconscious and non-consenting

Despite Giselle's clear drugged state, some perpetrators professed ignorance regarding her inability to consent. A few claimed surprise upon learning that Giselle was not consenting. They argued that Dominique's presence misled them into believing the acts were consensual, despite the evidence against this. Some justifications went as far as arguing that her unconsciousness was part of the couple's sex games. Furthermore, her attorneys stated that it was unbearable to hear such claims, especially when the evidence contradicted this, showing perpetrators whispering and taking measures not to wake Giselle up.

Others admitted to being aroused by Giselle's unconsciousness, revealing a disturbing mindset around consent and sexual assault

The mindset of some perpetrators toward consent was disturbingly revealed, as they found Giselle's unconsciousness arousing.

In France, the phenomenon of chemical submission, where individuals are drugged by someone they know to commit sexual assault, is a serious, yet often underestimated and underreported issue, creating widespread legal and cultural challenges.

Chemical submission, the drugging of victims by someone they know, is a largely underestimated and underreported phenomenon in France

The podcast defines chemical submission as forcing someone to submit through chemicals, with date rape categorized within this. In France, this act often involves someone the victim knows rather than a stranger, challenging the common perception that perpetrators are unknown "creepy men in the alleyway." In fact, 42% of credible reports of date rape drug usage in 2021 occurred in private settings among acquaintances.

Doctors often fail to recognize the signs of chemical submission, leaving victims without proper diagnosis or support

Unfortunately, French medical professionals are not typically trained to recognize victims of chemical submission, leading to a lack of diagnosis or support for those affected. Giselle, a woman who had been repeatedly drugged, visited several doctors, neurologists, and gynecologists who failed to identify her condition as chemical submission.

The legal definition of sexual assault in France is outdated, requiring "violence, coercion, or surprise" rather than solely lack of consent

This problem is compounded by France’s outdated legal definition of sexual assault, which currently requires "violence, coercion, or surprise" for a case to proceed, rather than focusing on a lack of consent.

Giselle's public trial was seen as crucial to raising awareness about chemical submission and pushing for legal reform

Giselle and her daughter Caroline have been advocating alongside other victims of chemical submission for the legal definition of sexual ...
