How the Pelicot Case Connects To Sexual Exploitation

Elly Arrow speaks with Silvia, an anti-sexual exploitation activist from Germany, about the Pelicot case and how Dominique Pelicot and his co-perpetrators' behaviour is mirrored in the actions of pimps and johns and directly inspired by trends in online pornography and BDSM culture. They also go into the histories and take a critical look at the culture of France and Germany, respectively, to see how this connects to the Pelicot case and beyond.
