Pelicot’s Trial Signals Slowing of MeToo Momentum

Gisèle Pelicot, a prominent French politician, has decided to confront her former attacker in court. This action, while appearing to align with the ongoing MeToo movement, indicates a potential shift in public sentiment. Despite the heightened awareness surrounding sexual assault and harassment, the intensity of the movement seems to be diminishing. The legal proceedings are expected to focus on the past actions of the individual. Legal experts suggest that the intensity of the movement may be waning, with fewer documented cases and a reduced public focus. The trial is slated to begin next week.
