US Edition55 Men Arrested in France in Major Operation to Bust Online Pedophile Ring
- Authorities arrested 55 men in 42 French departments this week as part of a crackdown on a child abuse network that used the Telegram messaging app to share illegal content.
- The arrests followed a ten-month investigation led by France’s OFMIN focusing on possession and distribution of child pornography involving victims under ten.
- Suspects aged 25 to 75, including a priest, paramedic, and music teacher, exchanged messages with imprisoned dangerous paedophiles on Telegram.
- Quentin Bevan of OFMIN stated that uncovering the child abusers required nearly a year of undercover efforts, which included analyzing thousands of communications and identifying illegal images.
- The operation exposed ongoing challenges as Telegram’s founder Pavel Durov remains under formal investigation, while the platform is seen as barely fulfilling legal obligations.
