A disturbing neo-Nazi sextortion ring known as “764” is spreading across the United States, targeting children as young as 9 years old and coercing them into creating explicit photos and videos. The FBI has revealed that there are hundreds of open cases against this cult-like network, which is linked to neo-Nazis and Satanism.
The group, which has ties to the Order of Nine Angles, was founded by Bradley Cadenhead when he was just 15 years old in 2020. Named after part of his own zip code, 764 has become the largest network of its kind with 250 active cases across every FBI field office.
Members of 764 methodically target and exploit minors by contacting them on gaming chatrooms, social media, and phone apps. They use threats, blackmail, and manipulation to coerce victims into producing self-harm, animal cruelty, sexually explicit acts, and even suicide on camera. The photos and videos are then circulated among the group, and victims are threatened with public exposure if they do not comply.
Parents are urged to be vigilant for signs that their children may be targeted by 764 or similar groups. These signs include self-harm, suicidal thoughts, changes in behavior, and mysterious harm to pets. The FBI advises parents to monitor their children’s online activity and look out for any warning signs.
Recent arrests of suspected 764 members, such as Prasan Nepa Leonidas Varagiannis and Prasan Nepal, have shed light on the disturbing activities of the group. These individuals are accused of targeting children as young as 13 years old and coercing them into creating explicit videos, including cutting symbols into their bodies.
Law enforcement agencies are working tirelessly to combat these predatory networks and protect vulnerable children from exploitation. As more arrests are made and investigations continue, it is crucial for parents to stay informed and vigilant in order to keep their children safe from these dangerous online predators.
