In the government’s sentencing memorandum, federal prosecutors asked that Densmore receive the maximum 30-year penalty for his role in creating and leading “online chat rooms where children were encouraged to cut themselves, bleed for members, and publicly engage in depraved sexual acts.”
Prior government filings show that Densmore ran a 764-adjacent server called “S3wer,” where he hosted other 764 members and provided a space to groom underage victims into sexually exploiting themselves and harming themselves for his benefit, often carving his alias into their bodies in a practice common to 764 and its offshoots known as “cut-signing.” According to prosecutors, some victims are driven to commit suicide on camera for the entertainment and status of their exploiters, though no precise number of suicides connected to 764 as been given.
Using excerpts of online conversations Densmore had both with his victims and other members of 764, mostly on Discord, federal prosecutors showed Densmore’s pride at his place of influence in 764.
In September 2022, Densmore intimidated a victim into self-abuse by demonstrating he had compromising information on them and that he ran not one but two CSAM and extortion servers. “I’m the owner of cultist [another 764 Discord server] and 764. I want you to cut for me.” The user responded that they did not cut, to which Densmore responded by threatening to expose confidential information about the minor: “Don’t make daddy angry. I’ll extort you. . . . I have all your information. I own you . . . You do what I say now kitten.”
In an October 2022 Discord conversations between Densmore and another participant in his child abuse servers included by the feds in the evidence against Densmore, he bragged about his exploitation methods.
“I gaslight and make them fucked up. Then they follow me,” Densmore said. “We got a girl to cut her ass off on cam. They kill their pets too. 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.”
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 raided him earlier this year, the feds claim Densmore had two cell phones hidden in an air vent in his bedroom. He’d also faced charges of a sexual offense involving a minor in the 1990s, according to a government filing from January. At one point last year, Densmore posted a video to a 764 server depicting himself burning electronics in a metal barrel outside. “Bye-bye, evidence,” Densmore says on the recording.
