"The reopening of the Coco site is a real slap in the face to the promise of protection we've made, she told broadcaster RMC at the time. We will track them down, we will hound them, we will give them no respite."
"Isaac Steidl, the founder and manager of the Coco website, was in January 2025 charged with complicity in drug trafficking, possession and distribution of child pornography, corruption of a minor via the internet, and criminal conspiracy."
"Dominique Pelicot was sentenced in 2024 to 20 years in prison for aggravated rape, after he recruited dozens of strangers to rape his then-wife Gisele after drugging her in their home between 2011 and 2020."
France has initiated an investigation into the reappearance of the Coco website, associated with Dominique Pelicot's crimes against his wife, Gisele. The platform has been linked to severe offenses, including child sexual abuse and murder. Although shut down in June 2024, it resurfaced under a new name. Authorities, including France's commissioner for children, have expressed outrage over this development. Isaac Steidl, linked to the original site, faces multiple charges but denies involvement with the new platform. Women's rights groups are calling for broader investigations into similar websites.
