Gisele Pelicot's daughter has revealed her thoughts on chemical castration, and said it could be a 'solution' for rapists like her father.

Caroline Darian's 72-year-old mother Gisele was drugged and mercilessly raped by husband Dominique Pelicot and dozens of men over a period of nine years.

In December, 51 men were finally convicted in the lengthy drugging-and-rape trial that riveted France.

Now, speaking to Sky's The Politics Hub in an emotional interview, Caroline told correspondent Ali Fortescue that the UK government's plans to consider mandatory chemical castration for sex offenders could be 'part of the solution.'

'For my dad, its probably one part of the solution, because, you know, when you're at that level of crime...there's nothing else you can do.
