in the government sentencing memorandumFederal prosecutors asked that Densmore receive the maximum sentence of 30 years for his role in creating and running “online chat rooms where children were encouraged to cut themselves, bleed for members, and publicly engage in depraved sexual acts.”
Previous government presentations show Densmore ran a server adjacent to 764 called “S3wer” where he hosted other members of 764 and provided a space to groom underage victims to sexually exploit and harm themselves for his benefit, often etching his alias into their bodies in a practice common to 764. and its ramifications are known as “cut signature.” According to prosecutors, some victims are forced to commit suicide on camera for the entertainment and status of their exploiters, although a precise number of related suicides has not been provided – 764.
Using excerpts from online conversations Densmore had with his victims and other 764 members, primarily on Discord, federal prosecutors showed Densmore’s pride in his place of influence in 764.
In September 2022, Densmore intimidated a victim into self-abuse by demonstrating that he had compromising information on her and that he ran not one but two CSAM and extortion servers. “I am the owner of cultist (another 764 Discord server) and 764. I want you to hack for me.” The user responded that they did not break up, to which Densmore responded by threatening to expose confidential information about the minor to: “Don’t make dad angry. I will blackmail you. . . . I have all your information. I own you. . . “Do what I tell you now, kitten.”
In an October 2022 Discord conversation between Densmore and another participant on his child abuse servers included by the feds in the evidence against Densmore, he bragged about his exploitation methods.
“I turn on the gas and screw them. Then they follow me.” Densmore said. “We got a girl to cut his ass on camera. They also kill their pets. “The majority will do anything for power.” When a Discord user told Densmore there was no reason to abuse people, Densmore wrote: “They beg you.”
Much of the evidence against Densmore was sealed by court order to protect the identities of his victims and due to the shocking nature of the evidence presented against him.
“Densmore’s phones, seized during search warrants in this case, contain some of the most egregious images and videos that the undersigned attorney has had the misfortune of viewing,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Adam Townshend wrote in his sentencing memorandum. .
The feds also delved into Densmore’s apparent delight in his online notoriety. “Being famous on Discord isn’t all it’s cracked up to be,” he messaged another user, and in another instance lamented, “Why can’t these people just let me be famous?”
Prior to his indictment and arrest, Densmore was initially raided by the FBI in February 2023, when the FBI found CSAM on his devices. When they were raided earlier this year, the feds claimed Densmore had two cell phones hidden in a vent in his bedroom. He also faced charges of a sex crime involving a minor in the 1990s, according to a government document from January. At one point last year, Densmore posted a video on a 764 server showing himself burning electronic devices in a metal barrel outside. “Goodbye evidence,” Densmore says in the recording.
