International Network of Sexual Assault Facilitators Uncovered on Telegram

An investigation reveals thousands of users sharing methods for drugging and assaulting victims, including distributing videos of their crimes.

A STRG_F investigation exposed an international Telegram network where thousands of users discussed drugging and sexually assaulting victims, with some members sharing live videos of their crimes.
The victims were often family members or close acquaintances of the perpetrators, including sisters, mothers, girlfriends, and wives.
Users in the groups exchanged detailed instructions on using substances like Medetomidin, Flualprazolam, and Scopolamin, with some drugs disguised as everyday products such as hair serums.
German law currently does not criminalize the possession of recordings of adult sexual assaults, a stance criticized by legal experts and activists.
Telegram claims to enforce a 'zero-tolerance policy' on abuse, but critics argue its platform remains a hub for illegal activities despite repeated warnings to authorities.
