Arizona Man Linked to Online Terror Network Faces Child Abuse Charges
An Arizona man, Baron Martin, has been arrested for allegedly producing child sex abuse materials and coercing minors to self-mutilate as part of his involvement with online terror groups 764 and CVLT. Martin, who faces up to 40 years in prison if convicted, is accused of cyberstalking and extortion, targeting minors to desensitize them to violence. He allegedly used platforms like Discord to threaten and manipulate victims, including a 13-year-old girl, and even plotted to harm a victim's grandmother. The U.S. Department of Justice is actively working to dismantle these violent extremist networks.
