Rohan Rane, a 29-year-old Indian man living in France since coming for studies, was sentenced to 20 years in prison by a Paris court on October 9, 2026. He led an international criminal group called "CVLT" that coerced young girls, many minors, into producing violent and sexual content online. Prosecutors described Rane as a neo-Nazi with extremist views towards feminism and the LGBTQ+ community, who used platforms like Discord to recruit victims across North America, Britain, and Canada.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
