# Fifty-five men have been arrested in France this week as part of an operation to dismantle a suspected paedophile ring operating via the Telegram messaging app. The suspects, aged 25 to 75, include a priest, a paramedic and a music teacher. The men exchanged messages on Telegram and were in contact with paedophiles who have been in prison since last summer. The large-scale operation began last summer with the arrest of individuals suspected of abusing children and posting images on Telegram.
