CHIn a cross-border operation called 'Project Medusa,' Europol has dismantled networks involved in severe sexual abuse and exploitation online. Authorities arrested dozens of suspects linked to hidden forums where illegal recordings were shared. The perpetrators drugged vulnerable women in their homes, sexually assaulted them, filmed the acts, and distributed the content in misogynistic groups on social media. Over 150 victims have been rescued, highlighting a systematic criminal organization similar to the infamous French case involving Gisèle Pelicot. The coordinated effort by European law enforcement agencies, supported by Germany’s Federal Criminal Police Office and Hamburg’s State Criminal Police Office, uncovered 156 suspected offenders and victims, leading to 57 arrests and the safe removal of 158 victims.
