French man linked to incel movement detained over suspected plan to attack women

French authorities arrested an 18-year-old man, Timothy G., near a high school in Saint-Étienne for allegedly planning attacks against women.
The arrest followed an investigation by the National Anti-Terrorism Prosecutor’s Office , which opened the country's first case linked solely to the incel movement.
Timothy G. identified as part of the misogynist incel subculture and was found carrying two knives, with sources indicating he consumed misogynist videos online.
He faces accusations related to a terrorist plot aimed at planning one or more violent offenses against individuals and was placed in custody following his court appearance.
The case highlights growing recognition in France of gender-based violence linked to incel ideology as terrorism, prompting ongoing investigation into the suspect's personality and motives.
