Dominique Pélicot will not appear in court on September 10, 2024. Suffering from pain, he will not come to speak this Tuesday on the examination of his personality, crucial in this sordid affair.

Dominique Pelicot, the main accused in the Mazan rape trial, who was due to speak for the first time on Tuesday afternoon, is still ill and will therefore not be able to be heard as planned, announced the president of the Vaucluse criminal court.

“He underwent samples for analysis yesterday. The medical profession does not have the results. Mr. Pelicot is still reportedly unwell. “I will be receiving emergency care during the day,” Roger Arata announced at the opening of the hearing, specifying that he was considering a “suspension of the trial” that could last several days, the time for the septuagenarian's health to improve.
