Prosecutors say members of an alleged online sexual predator network used Telegram group chats to communicate about rapes and to obscure their activities with coded language. According to reporting, investigators examine posts spanning several years across roughly two dozen group chats on the messaging platform. Authorities describe the groups as involving mainly Chinese men in Germany who targeted mostly Chinese women, and they allege the chat members bragged about assaults and exchanged tips related to drugging victims. One reported example is that members used a cover phrase—described as “German driving school for experts”—in an attempt to make their discussions appear unrelated to sexual violence. The accounts also describe the Telegram groups as a place where participants coordinated or shared information while seeking to avoid detection. Across the outlets, the core points are that the suspects used code words in Telegram groups and that investigators believe the chats reflect an organized pattern of abuse, including alleged drugging and rape, committed against women in Germany.
