They drug and rape wives and partners, then exchange photos and videos: International Monster Network Uncovered

A multinational police operation involving seven countries has uncovered highly organized networks of perpetrators who drug and rape their partners, using online groups to coordinate attacks and share evidence of abuse. Victims, mostly women, are often drugged with sedatives before being assaulted, and many remain unaware they were sexually abused until contacted by police. The operation, called Project Meduza, was launched in April and has identified over 150 offenders and victims, along with more than 270 new investigative leads. Authorities have arrested 57 individuals, but agencies warn that the true scale of these crimes and the number of victims likely remain unknown. The investigation follows high-profile cases, including one in France where a woman was raped by her husband and dozens of strangers while unconscious, sparking significant public debate. The use of digital platforms to facilitate such crimes has prompted calls for more sophisticated law enforcement responses.
