Federal prosecutors on Monday charged a 19-year-old California man linked to the extremist “764” cult with a string of crimes, including child sexual exploitation, animal abuse, and online threats.
A federal grand jury in the Eastern District of California indicted Tony Christopher Long on six felony counts, including sexual exploitation of a minor, possession of child sexual abuse material, cyberstalking, and transmitting interstate threats, according to the press release. Long remains in state custody on related charges.
Attorney General Pam Bondi said Long’s alleged crimes highlight the brutality of the “764” movement.
“This defendant allegedly engaged in acts of extreme cruelty by exploiting a child, abusing animals, and threatening violence — his conduct reflects the depravity of ‘764,’” Bondi said. “These networks seek to terrorize and destabilize our communities by preying on the most vulnerable, and the Justice Department will stop at nothing to dismantle this network and bring offenders to justice.”
The FBI recently warned about “764” and other Satanist pedophile networks targeting kids for horrific abuse online.
I looked into one of their groups on Discord — and learned a lot about their strategies to avoid detection and keep finding victims across the internet.

FBI Director Kash Patel said the agency is pursuing the case aggressively.
“The FBI has no tolerance for anyone who preys on children or other vulnerable members of society,” Patel said. “This defendant allegedly targeted juveniles, took part in animal crushing, and was part of a violent online network which seeks to sow chaos and destabilize our society. The FBI will work with our law enforcement partners to investigate and hold accountable anyone who engages in such reprehensible and illegal activity.”
If convicted, Long faces up to 30 years in federal prison for sexual exploitation of a minor and additional decades for the remaining charges. Court documents describe Long as a member of “764,” a Nihilistic Violent Extremist group that seeks to destroy social order through chaos, violence, and the exploitation of vulnerable victims, including minors.
The FBI previously indicted a man known as “White Tiger,” who allegedly persuaded a 13-year-old girl in Washington to take her own life on behalf of a cult-like group. German prosecutors charged him with hundreds of crimes, including murder and widespread child exploitation, tied to an international campaign of online abuse targeting more than 30 victims.
