German authorities issue 204 charges against 21-year-old suspect, alleged to be part of wider network of abusers
A man accused of luring children worldwide into a sadistic online abuse network has been charged by German prosecutors with hundreds of crimes, including murder, for the livestreamed death of a 13-year-old American.
Using the pseudonym “White Tiger”, the 21-year-old man from Hamburg is alleged to have victimised more than 30 children with online sexual abuse, manipulation and exploitation as a part of a virtual network of abusers known as “764”.
He allegedly coerced a US boy, 13, into killing himself in 2022, which was broadcast via live stream.
Authorities said the crimes had occurred between January 2021, when the suspect was 16 years old, and September 2023.
