ARD in Germany has uncovered a rapist’s help network on Telegram with “ten’s of thousands of member” who help each other with questions on the best methods to incapacitate women, before raping them. They also have photos of the women or videos of them being raped.

This, at a time when a woman is in court in France, because her husband had drugged her and raped her over many years, along with allowing 50 other men to rape her.

ARD story (German, I had a quick search, but this doesn’t seem to have hit the English speaking press yet):

> **[Vergewaltiger-Netzwerk auf Telegram aufgedeckt](https://www.tagesschau.de/investigativ/ndr/telegram-ko-tropfen-vergewaltigung-netzwerk-100.html)**
>
> In Dutzenden Telegram-Gruppen tauschen sich Nutzer dazu aus, wie sie Frauen betäuben und missbrauchen können. Aufnahmen davon werden anschließend geteilt. STRG\_F hat entsprechende Chatverläufe, Fotos und Videos dokumentiert.

BBC story about the woman in court facing her husband:

> **[Woman describes horror of learning husband drugged her so others could rape her](https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cd9dwxexp77o)**
>
> Gisèle Pélicot waived her right to anonymity after her husband admitted the offences.
