Pericot received international acclaim for waiving her right to anonymity at the trial of her ex-husband and other defendants last year.
“They are not us, they are not the people who should be embarrassed,” she said of the assailants.
Her ex-husband, Dominic Pericot, was able to rape him, and dozens of strangers, so that he and dozens of strangers he recruited online could rape her. Dominic Pericot, who admitted the fee, held hundreds of videos of attacks on the computer in a file entitled “Abuse.” French courts He was sentenced to 20 years in December..
“Every time the intimacy of a client’s personal life is violated, we respond and ask for a court decision,” attorney Antoine Camus said Thursday. Camus said it was “shocking” and “disappointing” to secretly take a photo of Pericot “which was the subject of 3,000 photos and videos” in Paris.
He accused the magazine of “learning nothing from the four-month trial.”
There were no comments on the Paris match contacted by Agence France-Presse.
Pelicot was included in the Time Magazine list released on Wednesday of the World’s Most Influential People in 2025.
