Episode Details

In Germany, authorities are unraveling a chilling online network of Chinese men who allegedly targeted and assaulted women using coded language—calling victims “cars” and rape “driving.” Three suspects have been convicted, with a fourth awaiting trial, as investigators grapple with the scale of the operation, which may involve thousands of members and dozens of perpetrators. The disturbing chats, some dating back to 2020, have sparked global concern, with similar networks emerging across Europe and the Americas. Europol’s “Project Medusa” has led to 57 arrests worldwide, while Chinese-German women have rallied in court to condemn the dehumanizing culture. A major breakthrough came in 2024 when a suspect’s changed behavior led to his arrest and a 14-year sentence, and another key verdict is expected soon in Berlin.
