White Tiger has been charged.
sadistic online abuse network was charged by German prosecutors Wednesday with hundreds of crimes -- including murder, for a 13-year-old American’s livestreamed suicide.
Using the pseudonym “White Tiger”, the 21-year-old Hamburg man, a German-Iranian national, allegedly 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 livestream.
Authorities said the crimes occurred between January 2021, when the suspect was 16 years old, and September 2023, when he was 19.
Prosecutors in Hamburg announced 204 criminal charges against him, including allegations of committing one murder and five attempted murders as an “indirect perpetrator”.
“White Tiger” would find vulnerable children and adolescents in online chats or games, develop a bond to groom them for abuse, then exploit them into producing pornographic content and harming themselves on video, authorities said.
The man was arrested at his parents’ home in June.
Authorities said at the time they had identified eight victims of “White Tiger” aged between 11 and 15 from Germany, England, Canada and the United States.
