The daughter of Dominique Pelicot, the Frenchman found guilty of drugging and facilitating the rape of his ex-wife by dozens of strangers, has said her father “should die in prison”.

In her first television interview since Pelicot was jailed for 20 years in December, Caroline Darian told the BBC that her father “was always a sexual pervert”.

“He should die in prison, he is a dangerous man,” said Ms Darian, speaking in “Pelicot Trial: The Daughter’s Story” that will air on Monday. 

Pelicot, 72, was convicted of drugging and raping Gisele Pelicot, and soliciting dozens of men to do the same for more than a decade.
