Richard Ehiemere, a 21-year-old from East London, was arrested for his involvement in a dark online group that blackmailed teenage girls into performing sexual acts and self-harm, including live-streamed suicides. The National Crime Agency, alerted by Discord in 2021, traced his activities back to his residence. Seized devices revealed numerous indecent images of children and evidence of communication related to evading law enforcement. Ehiemere, previously convicted, will face sentencing at Snaresbrook Crown Court for fraud and possession of indecent materials.
Richard Ehiemere was a key enabler for this harmful online group, providing stolen data which they could use to defraud hundreds of victims.
These networks are built on extremist or misogynistic ideologies and promote violence against women and girls, who are forced to comply with their extreme demands through fear.
