Story summary
Prasan Nepal, 21, also known by the online moniker "Trippy," pleaded guilty on Thursday to sexually exploiting children as part of his leadership role in the 764 network. For nearly four years, starting around 2019, Nepal led this extremist group which targeted minors across the United States and internationally through encrypted apps. The U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia stated that the organization engaged in a range of criminal activities including extorting vulnerable victims and causing psychological harm. Nepal forced at least eight minors, some as young as 13, to follow "rules" to join the network, compelling them to participate in severe acts such as self-mutilation, sexual exploitation, violence, and threats of suicide or murder. This case highlights the growing threat posed by extremist online networks targeting children for criminal purposes.

Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political
question, so it has no leaning score. That is an
answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly
or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it
anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political
position.
