Leader of 764 offshoot pleads guilty, faces up to 60 years in jail

A 19-year-old from San Antonio, Alexis Aldair Chavez, pleaded guilty to racketeering and child sexual exploitation charges for leading 8884, a splinter of the violent online extremist collective known as 764 (The Com); prosecutors say he groomed and coerced minors to produce CSAM, blackmailed victims, and promoted violent initiation acts, and his sentencing is set for March 25, 2026. The report also describes related arrests of other alleged 764 leaders and emphasizes the network's large, youth-driven, nihilistic culture that pressures participants to escalate abuse.
