ai generated text
Fifty-five men were arrested between Monday and Thursday, across 42 administrative departments in France. They are accused of various crimes related to pedophilia, including the possession, distribution, and regular viewing of child pornography involving children under the age of 10. The suspects range in age from 25 to 75 and include individuals from diverse backgrounds, such as a priest, a paramedic, and a music teacher. According to the authorities, the suspects were in contact with an extremely dangerous child sex offender who operated the pedophile network.
We had to follow the exchanges, analyze them, and identify the individuals hiding behind these Telegram pseudonyms — especially those who had children, had criminal records, or worked in sensitive professions involving contact with children.
It took ten months of investigation to track down these child abusers.
It was a major investigation and infiltration operation on this Telegram group.
Ten months of undercover work involving thousands of exchanges, analysis and detection of paedophile images by a task force set up at the OFMIN.
These 55 individuals all exchanged CSAM imagery (Child Sexual Abuse Material) with the dangerous pedophile, so we had digital evidence implicating all of them.
Falsely implying Telegram did nothing to remove child porn is a manipulation tactic.
