Maine teen tied to 764 extremist network receives federal sentence for child exploitation

A 17-year-old from Maine linked to the violent online extremist group known as the 764 network was sentenced in federal court for conspiring to sexually exploit a child, along with charges including sexual exploitation and enticement of a child, cyberstalking and identity theft. The case marks the first time a juvenile has been federally charged in crimes tied to 764, which prosecutors say coerces minors into escalating sexual and violent acts; the FBI is investigating more than 500 people nationwide with ties to the network. The teen’s name is withheld due to juvenile protection laws, and the sentence will be served federally with a period of supervised release afterward; exact length not disclosed.

Australia flags platform gaps as sextortion complaints surge

Australia’s eSafety regulator reports more than 2,000 complaints of sexual extortion (July–Dec 2025) and finds major platforms struggle to detect and prevent online exploitation, with 18–24-year-old men reporting most cases and teens increasingly targeted. Instagram and WhatsApp are most cited, while iMessage and Snapchat link to under-18 threats; gaps in live-streaming safeguards and proactive detection persist, prompting calls for stronger, design-integrated protections.
