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 thing consciously.”
Darian herself believes she was drugged and raped by Pelicot, after footage of her bare and unconscious physique had been discovered among the many detailed data her father stored of his crimes.
Pelicot denied in the course of the trial that he had ever abused her as the 2 clashed within the courtroom.

“I do know that he drugged me, most likely 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 prison, to the sexual prison he’s,” she stated.
The discharge of the interview comes as Darian will narrate a TV documentary on the usage of medicine to allow rape and sexual abuse.
