55 men arrested in France in major operation to bust online pedophile ring

Fifty-five men from across France were arrested between Monday and Thursday morning as part of a large-scale operation to dismantle a pedophile network operating through the messaging service Telegram, according to France’s Office for the Protection of Minors.

“These 55 individuals all exchanged CSAM imagery (Child Sexual Abuse Material) with the dangerous pedophile, so we had digital evidence implicating all of them,” said Bevan.

Bevan said that the arrests are “the fruit of a ten-month long investigation.”

“It was a major investigation and infiltration operation on this Telegram group,” Bevan said. “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.”

Bevan said the men are from all ages and backgrounds: fathers, civil servants, military personnel, and paramedics.In France, the possession and distribution of child sexual abuse material is punishable by a five-year prison sentence and a €100,000 ($112,747) fine.

French authorities indicted Durov on August 28, 2024 on several charges, including money laundering and spreading child sex abuse material. Durov said in a statement soon afterwards that he was committed to improving his app’s moderation and that authorities were trying to hold him “personally responsible for other people’s illegal use of Telegram.”
