TOTAL DEPRAVITY Twisted banker pimped girlfriend out to 500 men, made her lick public toilets & only let her sleep one night in every 10
A VILE banker has been jailed for 25 years after pimping his girlfriend out to nearly 500 men and carrying out a campaign of sickening abuse.
Guillaume Bucci, 51, also raped and tortured Laetitia R., 42, over a seven-year period up until 2022.
She was made to drink his urine, lick public toilets and subjected to severe sleep deprivation – given only one full night of rest in every 10.
Laetitia was inspired to come forward by the landmark Gisèle Pelicot case, which brought her husband to justice after he recruited men online to sexually abuse her after he drugged her.
In the Bucci case, a litany of horrific crimes were laid out to the Digne-les-Bains criminal court in the south of France last week.
Following Gisèle’s lead who said “shame must change sides”, Laetitia waived her legal right to anonymity.
Bucci admitted burning, strangling and tying Laetitia up, and engaging in bestiality, but framed the acts of torture as consensual, saying: “I did not think I was hurting her.”
He used “sado-masochistic sex games” to take “psychological control of her”, according to the prosecution’s evidence.
Laetitia testified that she lived in “constant fear” during the hellish seven-year relationship, in which Bucci treated her like his “slave”.
“Little by little, I felt like I was dying inside. With each practice imposed, there was a part of me that broke permanently,” she testified through tears, according to the Telegraph.
“I didn’t know how to get out of it. I thought to myself: If I do, maybe it will strike me less.”
On top of assaults involving belts, cutting boards and electrical cables, Bucci forced Laetitia into prostitution, starting on Christmas Eve 2015 at a service station.
He kept a list of her clients, and often achieved “sadistic pleasure” by listening to them on the phone when she arranged appointments.
Soon after she gave birth to their daughter in 2017, Bucci forced her to perform a sex act on a lorry driver.
Laetitia, a mother of three like Gisèle, was continually in tears as she said in court: “I didn’t know how to get out of it.”
Asked how many men she had slept with, she said: “I stopped counting at 487. I felt like I was dying inside.”
She suffers significant disabilities as a result of the abuse.
Despite Bucci’s claims that it was consensual, he was incriminated by hundreds of retained text and voice messages, in which he regularly threatened to kill his partner if she did not follow his orders.
Philippe-Henry Honegger, counsel for Laeticia R., confirmed it was Gisèle Pelicot, 73, who had inspired his client to share her story with the world.
Sentenced to 25-years for aggravated rape, the former bank manager was told he would not be released until a minimum of two-thirds of his sentence was served.
Dominique Pelicot was jailed for 20 years in December 2024 for drugging and raping his wife, Gisèle Pelicot, multiple times so that dozens of men could rape her at their home near Avignon, also in the South of France.
Pelicot, dubbed the “Monster of Avignon” by French media, has since been linked with multiple other abuse cases.
