Richard Densmore, 764 Terror Network member, Sentenced to 30-Years-Prison
Federal prosecutors used excerpts from online conversations Densmore held with both his victims and 764 members, mainly on Discord, to show Densmore’s pride in his position of influence within 764. “I am the owner of 764 and cultists
. I want you cut for me. The user replied that they didn’t cut. Densmore then threatened to reveal confidential information about minors: “Don’t make dad angry.” I’ll extort you. . . . I have your entire information. You are mine. . . You do what I tell you now, kitten.” Densmore told the feds that he would follow him if they followed his instructions. We got a young girl to shave her nase on camera. Most will do anything for power. When a Discord user told Densmore that there was no reason to abuse people, Densmore wrote: “They beg for it.” Most will do anything for power.” When a Discord user told Densmore that there was no reason to abuse people, Densmore wrote, “They beg for it.”
Much of the evidence against Densmore was sealed by court order to protect the identities of his victims and because of the shocking nature of the evidence presented against him.
“Densmore’s phones, seized during search warrants in this case, contain some of the most heinous images and videos the undersigned counsel has had the misfortune of seeing,” assistant US attorney Adam Townshend wrote in his sentencing memorandum.
The feds also drilled down on Densmore’s seeming delight in his online notoriety. “Being Discord famous isn’t all it’s cracked up to be,” he messaged another user, and in another instance lamented, “Why can’t these ppl just let me be famous.”[another 764 Discord server]Prior to his indictment and arrest, Densmore was initially raided by the FBI in February 2023, when the FBI found CSAM on his devices. The FBI raided Densmore earlier this year and found two cell phones in an air vent of his bedroom. According to a January government document, he was also charged with a sexual offence involving a child in the 1990s. Densmore uploaded a video last year showing him burning electronics outside in a barrel. Densmore said on the recording, “Bye bye, evidence.”
