A Paris court yesterday jailed a young Indian man to 20 years jail for leading a masculinist group that forced young girls, many of them minors, to perform sexual acts and in some cases tortured them. Prosecutors had sought a 30-year jail term for Rohan Rane, a 29-year-old who they described as a Nazi lover of sadism and macabre ultra-violence. Most of the dozens of victims of the group led by Rane were American girls, the court was told. Many were aged under 15. Other young male members of the masculinist group were from the United States, India, Germany and New Zealand. Six of the girls, now aged between 18 and 21, made official complaints. About 20 victims were identified but others could not be contacted, prosecutors said. After five days of hearings, mainly behind closed doors, the court found Rane guilty of offences, notably extortion committed as part of an organised gang, with the aggravating circumstances of acts of torture and barbarity perpetrated on the victims. Prosecutors said all of the girls were lured by the “CVLT” group that was driven by nihilism, racism, antisemitism, Nazi aesthetics and values, and the hatred of feminists and the LGBTQ+ community. The group became active ahead of the Covid-19 pandemic on the Discord platform with Rane as its leader. The Indian went to France to study at a commercial school in the southern town of Antibes before becoming a sports coach. Vulnerable victims were picked out in online forums and persuaded to send nude images. The men threatened to tell their families and school friends if they did not give in to their demands. According to investigators, many of the girls were black or Jewish and they were forced to engage in sexual acts or to self-harm with knives, including scoring the names of their tormentors or a Nazi swastika into their skin. The scenes were accompanied by insults and jeers from the men, who called themselves “war lords”. One 26-year-old American group member has been jailed in the United States for the 2021 rape of a 12-year-old. Rane was first arrested in 2021 in France. US authorities passed on information about his leadership in the “CVLT” group and how he had vaunted his desire to fulfil his “sadism”

An alleged neo-nazi accused of running a vile exploitation ring in which young girls were coerced into performing “barbaric” sexual acts and self-harm online has gone on trial in Paris. Investigators identified Rohan Rane, a 29-year-old Indian national who came to France to study at a business school in the southeastern city of Antibes before becoming a fitness coach, as the group’s leader. Despite his heritage, Rane was a self-declared fascist, reported French media. He is being tried on charges including torture or acts of barbarity against minors, organised extortion and dissemination of child sexual abuse material. If convicted, he faces up to life in prison. Other accused in the case, according to reports, include three US citizens. They were part of a neo-nazi ring, named CVLT (pronounced “cult”), that espoused racist and antisemitic views and expressed hostility toward feminists and the LGBTQ community. It promoted “neo-nazism, nihilism, and paedophilia as its core principles”, according to a US Department of Justice statement. Investigators say CVLT members described themselves as “warlords” and referred to their victims as “slaves” or “housewives”. The group is accused of abusing young girls, most of them minors, from the US, the UK, the Netherlands and Estonia, a French court heard. (…) Some of the sex ring’s alleged victims were selected because they were Jewish, Muslim, Mexican or black, according to the French investigation. Victims, often under the age of 15, were filmed to create videos of scenes of torture and humiliation, it is alleged. They also incited their victims to commit suicide by drinking bleach or by strangling themselves with a belt or leash, it is alleged
