FRESNO, Calif. (KSEE/KGPE) – A federal grand jury returned a six-count indictment against a 19-year-old Porterville man alleged to be a member of a violent extremist group “764″ who harassed a juvenile victim in Kern County and engaged in what was described as “animal crushing,” according to the Department of Justice.
Federal prosecutors say 19-year-old Tony Christopher Long (also known as Inactive, Inactivee0 and inactivecvx) was charged with animal crushing, sexual exploitation of a minor, possession of material involving the sexual exploitation of a minor, cyberstalking, and transmitting an interstate threat.
The indictment was returned on Oct. 23 by a grand jury that alleges that in late 2024, Long purposely engaged in animal crushing, sexually exploited a juvenile victim living in Washington state and committed cyberstalking and made online threats against a juvenile victim living in Kern County.
