A 55-year-old Frenchman suspected of commissioning online pedophile crimes abroad has been arrested and charged in France. The Paris prosecutor’s office says the suspect was charged this week with complicity in human trafficking involving minors under the age of 15 who had been raped as well as rape and sexual assault of minors and related crimes. He was remanded in custody. The prosecutor’s office said it worked with Colombian authorities and that the operation led to the simultaneous arrests of the suspect, local perpetrators and middlemen. Several victims were also identified and sheltered.
