  "account": "A Paris court has sentenced Rohan Rane, a 29-year-old Indian man, to 20 years in jail for leading a masculinist group that subjected young girls to sexual acts and torture. Prosecutors accused Rane, described as a \"Nazi lover of sadism and macabre ultra-violence,\" of leading the extremist group CVLT, which targeted American girls, many of whom were minors. The victims, aged between 12 and 21, were recruited through online forums by promising them personal gains but instead subjected them to torture, including self-harm with knives and branding with Nazi symbols. Rane and other members of the group, some from the United States and Germany, were allegedly driven by nihilism, racism, antisemitism, and hatred of feminists and LGBTQ+ individuals. The court heard that threats had been made to the victims, witnesses, and even US prosecutors. US authorities plan to seek Rane's extradition once his French sentence is completed.",
