French authorities have arrested 95 people and seized hundreds of digital devices containing massive amounts of illicit material in what officials are calling a significant breakthrough against an international child exploitation network, Breitbart reported.

The National Gendarmerie's operation began in December last year and confiscated 122 computers, 152 smartphones, and 330 other digital devices. The seized equipment contained 375,000 photos and 156,000 videos, totaling 217 terabytes of illegal content.

Among those arrested were several individuals in positions of authority, including a youth organization director, a sports instructor, and a deputy mayor, according to Le Figaro. The majority of suspects have already confessed to their involvement.

The suspects, all male except for one 16-year-old minor, ranged in age from 18 to 74 years old. Thirty-six of those arrested were previously known to law enforcement for similar offenses involving children or accessing illegal content online.

The investigation was triggered when authorities, during a phone search, discovered multiple discussion groups sharing illegal content on the encrypted messaging platform Signal.

We need operation Millstone. Take anyone that hurts little kids and crush their heads under a concrete truck with a full load, 10 yards.

I was watching a video of one woman who was the victim of human trafficking, who pointed out that it’s many of “your” fathers, sons, pastors, police officers, CEOs, and politicians who are patronizing the traffickers. I would add they are paying for the right to rape the women they’re screwing.
