FBI Hunts '764' Child Exploitation Ring
20 Nov
Summary
- The FBI is actively dismantling the '764' online child exploitation group.
- Investigations connected to '764' network have over 300 active cases nationwide.
- The '764' network recruits and manipulates minors on platforms like Discord and Roblox.
Federal authorities are aggressively pursuing the '764' network, a significant online child exploitation group. The FBI has launched over 300 investigations across the U.S. targeting this network. Recent actions include arrests in Baltimore, where an individual allegedly targeted five minors, and in Arizona, where an affiliate of '764' is accused of victimizing nine children aged 11 to 15.
The '764' network, established in 2021 by Bradley 'Felix' Cadenhead, operates within a larger ecosystem of violent online communities known as 'The COM.' Members allegedly exploit popular teen platforms such as Discord, Telegram, and Roblox to recruit and coerce children into various forms of abuse, including child pornography, cyberstalking, and animal abuse.
FBI officials emphasize the critical nature of this threat and urge parents to monitor their children's internet usage and implement safeguards. The bureau has pledged to continue working diligently to dismantle the '764' network, acknowledging that while progress is being made, the operation is ongoing and remains a top priority.
