Inside the Hidden ‘Rape Academy’: 62 Million Visits Fuel Online Networks of Abuse
A recent CNN investigation exposes a decentralised network of websites, forums and encrypted groups where sexual violence is taught, shared and monetised. One adult site alone recorded over 62 million visits in a single month, exposing videos of sedated women and community chatrooms offering tips on carrying out assaults. Survivors include women betrayed by partners who drugged and recorded them without consent. Many victims have no memory of the abuse, making prosecution difficult. One woman only learned of years of assault when her husband finally confessed. These hidden platforms operate on mainstream and encrypted channels, selling so-called ‘sleeping liquids’ and paid livestreams of real-time abuse. The investigation calls for stronger digital oversight and protection measures to shield vulnerable women from these organised networks of harm.
