The founder of a controversial adult site is facing charges after it was linked to a shocking mass rape case in France, raising serious concerns.
Avignon: A shocking case has emerged in France. The founder of an adult website is in serious trouble. Isaac Steidl is facing multiple charges. His site was used for horrific crimes.
Prosecutors say it helped a man recruit strangers to assault his wife. This went on for nearly a decade. The wife, Gisele Pelicot, bravely spoke out. She became a symbol of strength for many.
Steidl, an Italian national, was arrested and charged with serious offenses. These include drug trafficking and child pornography. He’s now under strict judicial supervision.
The site, Coco.fr, was shut down after many warnings. It was called a “den of predators.” Users could remain anonymous, making it a dangerous place.
Authorities have reported over 23,000 crimes linked to this site. The details are shocking and have sparked outrage across France. Gisele’s courage to go public has inspired many victims to speak out.
She wants to change how society views these crimes. “It’s not for us to feel shame,” she said. “It’s for them.” Her story is a powerful reminder of the fight against sexual violence.
