Fifty-five men have been arrested in France this week as part of an operation to dismantle a suspected paedophile ring operating via messaging app Telegram, authorities said on Thursday.

The arrests took place in 42 departments for possession, distribution and regular viewing of pornography involving children “under the age of 10”, France’s OFMIN, an office tasked with preventing violence against minors, told AFP.
