Leader of 764 pleads guilty, faces up to 30 years in prison

Prasan Nepal, 21, pleaded guilty October 8 to conspiracy to commit sexual exploitation of a child for his role leading 764, a network engaged in child grooming, extortion, and production of abuse material. Nepal admitted to instructing members on exploiting minors, requiring prospective members to produce child sexual abuse material and evidence of self-harm, and extorting victims for harmful content. He faces 15 to 30 years in prison at sentencing, following a broader law enforcement campaign that has resulted in lengthy sentences for other 764 leaders and members since 2025.

Why it matters: Law enforcement, child protection organizations, and platform security teams need to understand the structure and tactics of 764 and affiliated networks to identify and protect vulnerable minors from ongoing recruitment and exploitation.
