Two men have been arrested and charged with running an international child exploitation enterprise known as 764 which targets vulnerable minors online and coerces them to self-harm, make child sexual abuse material of themselves and participate in violent acts — including animal abuse and even suicide.
Prasan Nepal, 20, who police say used the moniker “Trippy” in the 764 network, was arrested in North Carolina. Leonidas Varagiannis, a 21-year-old U.S. citizen, known as “War” was arrested in Greece, according to police.
They allegedly led a core subgroup called 764 Inferno that operated using encrypted messaging platforms. Police say the men exploited at least eight minors, some as young as 13 years old.
About time. You have to wonder whether that’ll stop any of the others, though. They were creating fucking tutorials for this shit and spreading it. A lot of these people torturing kids were other kids. Really horrible stuff.
I hope the victims are or will be okay.
