Story summary

An 18-year-old resident from Yorkton, Saskatchewan, faces terrorism-related charges for allegedly posting videos online as a member of 764, a group designated as a terrorist entity in Canada. The RCMP's Integrated National Security Enforcement Team (INSET) arrested the individual on September 24, 2023, in Alberta. At the time of the alleged crimes, the person was under 18 and their identity is protected by the Youth Criminal Justice Act.

The RCMP initiated an investigation following a report of concerning online activity involving a Telegram user who allegedly posted videos depicting real-world activities as a 764 member. Investigators also discovered references to the individual in multiple Telegram and Discord chatrooms associated with 764. According to authorities, 764 is described as a transnational network of violent online predators who coerce young people into participating in acts involving child sexual abuse, exploitation, self-harm, and animal torture.

This case highlights the growing threat posed by extremist groups operating on social media platforms that target vulnerable youth.
