A young Indian man was sentenced to 20 years in prison in Paris for leading a group that subjected numerous young girls, many of them minors, to sexual abuse and, in some instances, torture. Prosecutors described Rohan Rane as a “Nazi lover of sadism and macabre ultra-violence” during the trial.
The court heard that most of the victims, numbering in the dozens, were American girls with many under the age of 15. The group was characterized by its masculinist ideology and included young male members from various countries, including the United States, India, Germany, and New Zealand.
Authorities detailed how the group coerced victims into performing sexual acts while subjecting some to physical abuse. The sentencing reflects the severity of the charges and the international scope of the group’s membership and victims. The case highlights ongoing concerns about cross-border exploitation and abuse facilitated by organized networks.
