Kyle Spitze, described as a 'nihilistic violent extremist,' targeted girls online as part of an FBI-investigated network the agency calls 'modern-day terrorism.'

What to know

  • Kyle Spitze, 27, received a 77-year sentence for producing child sexual abuse material and targeting minors as part of the '764 network,' an FBI-investigated extremist group called a form of 'modern-day terrorism.'
  • Spitze was an original member of networks 'Harm Nation' and '764' that targeted vulnerable people through extortion, with aims toward societal collapse; he claimed to have 'groomed' over 2,600 victims, two of whom died by suicide.
  • Federal authorities including the US Attorney General and FBI Director framed the conviction as part of a 'renewed mission' to dismantle online predator networks and prosecute extremist groups to the fullest extent.

“Federal law enforcement will not stop until nihilistic violent extremist groups and their depraved members are identified and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”
