  "summary": "A 29-year-old Indian man, Rohan Rane, has been sentenced to 20 years in a Paris court for leading an international criminal network that coerced young girls, many of them minors, into producing sexual and violent videos. The trial, held behind closed doors, found Rane guilty of offenses such as extortion committed as part of an organized gang, with acts of torture and barbarity perpetrated on the victims. Most of the victims were American girls, aged under 15, and other young male members of the group were from the US, India, Germany, and New Zealand. The group, driven by nihilism, racism, anti-Semitism, Nazi aesthetics, and hatred of feminists and the LGBTQ+ community, became active on the Discord platform before the Covid-19 pandemic. Rane was first arrested in France in 2021, and US authorities provided information about his leadership in the group and his desire for sadism.",
