The FBI investigates more than 350 subjects allegedly connected to an online network that coerces minors into violence, self-harm and sexual exploitation.
Rachel Wolf is a breaking news writer for Fox News Digital and FOX Business.
"The FBI remains concerned about these loose networks of violent predators who befriend minors and other vulnerable individuals through popular online platforms and then coerce them into escalating sexual and violent behavior – pushing victims to create graphic content, child sexual abuse material (CSAM), harm family pets, cut themselves with sharp objects or attempt suicide. Some of these predators even watch livestreamed self-harm and other violent content," the bureau said in a statement provided to Fox News.
As part of the FBI's effort to counter the violent online network, the bureau is providing training to personnel in all of its field offices. Additionally, the bureau said that it is working with law enforcement partners at home and abroad to identify the alleged perpetrators and "hold them accountable."
