Malmesbury teen allegedly instructed children to harm themselves and their pets
Shocking court documents reveal a Malmesbury teenager's alleged seven-month campaign of abuse against 11 American children, involving self-harm and animal cruelty.
A 16-year-old Malmesbury teenager is set to appear in court for the second time, accused of instructing children in the US to engage in sexual acts and torture their pets. The teenager, who was arrested at the Mount Royal Golf and Country Estate, is alleged to have been a key figure in an online network called 764, which exploits vulnerable individuals through grooming and coercion.
The charges stem from complaints from eleven American children aged 11 to 17, who allege that the teenager instructed them to participate in sexual acts and harm their pets. The teenager was home-schooled and left a high school in Malmesbury midway through 2024 after two terms. He was described as a major player in the 764 network, with violent behavior leading up to his arrest.
The state alleges that 764 is a cult with a satanic ideology and that the teenager used various platforms to contact the children, including Telegram, Discord, Snapchat, and Instagram. The teenager's attorney has requested that a district surgeon examine him to determine his criminal responsibility before the mental-health referral process can begin.
