Indian Man on Trial in Paris for Leading Online Child Exploitation Ring
Rohan Sandeep Rane, a 29-year-old Indian national, is on trial in Paris for allegedly leading CVLT, an online neo-Nazi group that coerced underage girls across multiple countries into sexual acts and self-harm through sextortion. Arrested in 2021, Rane faces charges including torture of minors, organised extortion, and distribution of child sexual abuse material. The trial, held behind closed doors due to witness intimidation concerns, involves victims from the US, Europe, and other nations, with proceedings expected to continue through Friday.
