BREAKING: Federal authorities have arrested two men linked to the notorious 764 sextortion ring, known for its violent exploitation of children. The arrests, made in Los Angeles, come as the network has operated internationally since 2021, following its split from the infamous CVLT network.
URGENT UPDATE: 18-year-old Pysher was apprehended for allegedly traveling from Pennsylvania to Castaic, California, where he is accused of sexually assaulting a 13-year-old girl in a motel. Authorities report that Pysher wielded a knife during the assault, leaving the victim with severe injuries, including cuts and choking. Investigators discovered bloody tissues and other incriminating evidence at the scene.
Meanwhile, 24-year-old Gonzalez was arrested shortly before Pysher. He stands accused of coercing young girls into creating and sending him sexually explicit videos, including footage of self-harm. Gonzalez allegedly threatened to share these images with the victims’ families, further demonstrating the ring’s predatory tactics.
According to a Department of Justice (DOJ) release, from April 2025 to June 2025, Gonzalez utilized various social media platforms to manipulate minors into producing child sexual abuse material (CSAM). The DOJ has linked both men to nihilistic violent extremist ideologies, categorizing the 764 network as a terror group by the FBI.
The 764 network has gained notoriety as a “Satanic neo-Nazi cult,” attracting individuals with sadistic tendencies and a misanthropic worldview. Both men are currently being held without bond, and no plea has been entered as of now. The investigation continues, with law enforcement urging parents and guardians to stay vigilant against child exploitation.
