An Arizona man was arrested this week for allegedly producing child sex abuse materials, in which he coerced minors to self-mutilate, as part of his efforts with online terror groups, federal prosecutors said.
Prosecutors allege Martin is a member of the violent terror networks known as 764 and CVLT.
The mutilation acts are then photographed, video recorded or streamed online and shared with other members of the groups, prosecutors said.
Martin, who claimed online he was the owner of the online terror groups, taught other members how to extort victims and proclaiming himself as the “king of extortion,” prosecutors said.
In September 2022, Martin produced child sex abuse material on Discord, an online chat and gaming platform, prosecutors said.
