Indian Jailed in France for Leading Sadist Nazi Cult that Tortured Girls
Prosecutors said the group lured vulnerable girls online, forced sexual acts and torture, and targeted about 20 identified victims.
- A Paris court on Friday sentenced Rohan Rane, a 29-year-old Indian man, to 20 years in prison for leading a masculinist group that forced minors to perform sexual acts and tortured them.
- Prosecutors said the "CVLT" group was driven by Nazi values, antisemitism, and hatred of feminists, operating on Discord before Covid-19 emerged.
- Investigators identified about 20 victims, many coerced into self-harm; the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children first flagged "CVLT" in 2020 after discovering disturbing images.
- After five days of closed hearings, the court found Rane guilty of extortion and torture; six victims, now aged 18 to 21, filed official complaints.
- US authorities have indicated they will seek Rane's extradition once his French sentence is served, while one 26-year-old American member was already jailed in the United States.

A 29-year-old Indian man was sentenced to 20 years in prison Friday in a Paris trial over his alleged involvement in an international criminal network that targeted vulnerable children in the US, Britain and Canada and coerced them into producing violent and sexual videos.
The Paris Assize Court sentenced Rohan Rane for a series of crimes and offences, including extortion in an organized band with aggravating circumstances for acts of torture and barbarism committed in particular against minors.
After five days of a trial behind closed doors, a lighter sentence than that required by the Attorney General was pronounced against this Indian national on Friday 9 October. Satisfied, the civil parties would nevertheless have preferred a public hearing, in order to raise public awareness of male violence.
