Online Chatroom Used to Recruit Predators for Wife's Rape Leads to 92 Cases and 51 Arrests in France

An online chatroom hosted on Guernsey, a self-governing dependency of the British Crown, where a Frenchman allegedly recruited up to 83 men to rape his wife while she was drugged unconscious is still up and running. Dominique P, who has also been charged with raping and murdering a 23-year-old estate agent in Paris in 1991, allegedly contacted the men on a private chatroom called “à son insu” (“without her knowing”) in which members discuss performing sexual acts on their unwitting, and thus non-consensual partners, often drugged. The site is legally registered on the Channel Island of Guernsey and is reportedly the bane of French police and has been linked to criminal investigations into paedophile, racist or anti-Semitic content and the sale of illicit substances.
