One of the 30-year-old\u2019s alleged victims later died of an overdose.<\/p>\n<p>Sweeney has been the subject of multiple FBI investigations, which uncovered extensive crimes against children dating back to at least 2022, prosecutors said. His alleged involvement in <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/the-com-764-cybercrime-violent-crime-fbi-intellignce-report\/\">764<\/a> and, by extension, <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/fbi-warning-the-com-cybercrime-extortion-violence\/\">The Com<\/a>, underscores the growing, multi-faceted threat of physical violence, cybercrime, extortion and the pursuit of criminal underground notoriety posed by thousands of members typically between 11 and 25 years old.<\/p>\n<p>Victims of these crimes are often young, vulnerable and degraded or traumatized for years with life-altering impact.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad ad--inline_1 \">\n<div class=\"ad__inner\"> <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Advertisement<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cViolent extremists who victimize vulnerable children online are among the worst predators in our community and across the country,\u201d Braden Boucek, U.S. attorney for the Middle District of Tennessee, said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>Members of 764 and related groups commit crimes in the United States and engage with <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/project-compass-the-com-europol\/\">other extremists globally<\/a> to foment social unrest and destroy civilized society through the corruption and exploitation of vulnerable people, the Justice Department said.<\/p>\n<p>Police arrested Sweeney Thursday and charged him with three counts of sexual exploitation and attempted sexual exploitation of a minor and three counts of receiving visual depictions of CSAM. Prosecutors said they intend to request Sweeney remain detained at his next court appearance June 3.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Sweeney allegedly traveled to New York, Indiana, Missouri and Georgia to meet numerous victims in person. Officials received reports from some of his alleged victims and online platforms, triggering FBI interviews with some of his alleged victims as early as 2023.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>One of his alleged victims, who began interacting with Sweeney when she was a teenager, told investigators she degraded herself and participated in virtual self-harm group video calls with a group of people she described as friends of his in <a href=\"https:\/\/cyberscoop.com\/tag\/the-com\/\">The Com<\/a>.
