Gisele Pelicot 'overwhelmed' by personal letter of support from Queen Camilla

Rape survivor Gisele Pelicot said she was deeply moved by a letter from Queen Camilla, who lauded the 'extraordinary dignity' Pelicot showed throughout the harrowing legal proceedings against her husband. Camilla, who has long campaigned against domestic violence and sexual abuse, praised Ms Pelicot's 'extraordinary dignity and courage' in the letter. Ms Pelicot's ex-husband Dominique Pelicot was jailed for 20 years for drugging and raping her and allowing other men to rape her while she was unconscious, in abuse which lasted nearly a decade. The 73-year-old, who waived her right to anonymity as a survivor of sexual abuse, said shame should fall on her abusers, not her.
