Two men have been arrested and charged for allegedly playing key roles in operating "one of the most heinous online child exploitation enterprises" federal authorities have ever encountered, the U.S. Attorney's Office said.
Leonidas Varagiannis, 21, and Prasan Nepal, 20, are accused of leading "764 Inferno," a core subgroup of a U.S.-based criminal online network known as "764," according to the U.S. Attorney's Office for the District of Columbia. The group targeted vulnerable people, specifically children, online and used violent tactics that were designed to induce self-harm, a criminal complaint states.
