Early 764 member sentenced to 77 years, longest prison term to date for a nihilistic violent extremist
Brief
An original member of 764 and leader of one of its offshoots was sentenced to 77 years in prison, the longest imprisonment ever imposed on a nihilistic violent extremist, the Justice Department said Wednesday.
Kyle William Spitze pleaded guilty in December 2024 to two counts of producing child sexual abuse material, possession of CSAM and distributing animal crush videos. A federal judge in the U. S. District Court for the Eastern District of Tennessee sentenced Spitze to the maximum punishment for each count and ordered him to serve all terms consecutively.
The 27-year-old of Friendsville, Tenn., victimized dozens of girls and coerced multiple victims under threats of doxing and swatting to produce CSAM of themselves, self-mutilate and produce Spitze’s online moniker in their blood.
