Online 'Rape Academy' Exposes Shocking Network of Abuse

A shocking CNN report reveals the existence of an online 'Rape Academy' on Telegram, where thousands of men exchange information and experiences regarding the drugging and rape of their wives or partners. The investigation began following the case of Gisèle Pelicot, a woman who was systematically raped by her husband and other men, who found her through a closed group on social media. CNN documented discussions within the group where men share tips on drugging, report their actions, and even negotiate for rape videos. Police have been notified about a specific user who cooperated with CNN journalists. This phenomenon highlights the need for increased awareness and action against violence against women.
