"The Daughter Who Defied Darkness: A Story of Strength Against Unimaginable Betrayal"
Imagine a revelation so harrowing that it turns your world upside down, shattering every memory you thought was sacred. For Caroline Darian, that moment came in November 2020. A phone call from her mother exposed the unimaginable: her father, Dominique Pelicot, had been drugging her mother for years, orchestrating a network of sexual assaults involving dozens of strangers. This chilling truth catapulted Caroline into a fight against an insidious crime—chemical submission—and into the uncharted territory of reconciling her identity with her father’s monstrous deeds.
Caroline recounts the shock as though reliving an earthquake. The man she once called “dad” was not only her mother’s torturer but also implicated in her own victimization. The discovery of incriminating photos—images of herself unconscious—forced her to confront the likelihood that she too had been drugged and possibly assaulted. The connection between victim and predator was agonizing, leaving her haunted by the shadows of betrayal.

Dominique Pelicot’s crimes came to light after an arrest for upskirting, which led police to a trove of disturbing evidence on his devices. The subsequent trial was historic, exposing the depth of Pelicot’s depravity. He was sentenced to 20 years in prison, along with many of the accomplices he had recruited. Yet for Caroline, no sentence could compensate for the destruction of trust, innocence, and familial bonds.
Determined to rise from the ruins, Caroline has turned her pain into purpose. She has become a vocal advocate against chemical submission—a silent epidemic where victims often remain unaware of their abuse. Her book, I’ll Never Call Him Dad Again , lays bare her family’s trauma and calls for greater awareness of such crimes. Through this work, she reclaims her narrative and gives a voice to countless unseen victims.
In the face of the unthinkable, Caroline’s strength is a testament to human resilience. While Dominique Pelicot remains behind bars, his daughter chooses to look ahead, breaking the cycle of silence and inspiring others to confront the darkest corners of humanity with courage.
