House Oversight panel opens probe of ‘764’ internet sextortion cult that preys on minors
Published By admin
WASHINGTON — The powerful House Oversight Committee is investigating a sadistic, nihilistic terror cult known as “764” that preys on minors and coerces them into sex acts, self-harm, animal torture, and other vile actions.
Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) and Subcommittee on Federal and Government Reform Law Enforcement Chair Clay Higgins (R-La.) demanded Tuesday that the FBI give lawmakers a briefing on its efforts to undermine 764.
“Reporting indicates the FBI has opened more than 250 investigations tied to the group, which preys on children and teenagers on popular online platforms,” Commer and Higgins told FBI Director Kash Patel in a letter obtained by The Post.
“The disturbing tactics attributed to this network — grooming, manipulating, and blackmailing of minors — underscore a serious and continuously evolving threat to children and families across the United States. These harms demand rigorous oversight.”
Comer and Higgins are particularly interested in learning about the bureau’s “capabilities to track and apprehend” 764 acolytes.
They requested an overview of the FBI’s efforts, challenges the bureau faces, what additional resources it may need from Congress, and a breakdown of how the bureau deploys its resources to track groups like 764, including coordination with local authorities.
