A federal grand jury has indicted Tony Christopher Long, 19, of Porterville, on six counts, including animal crushing, sexual exploitation of a minor, possession of child sexual abuse material, cyberstalking and transmitting an interstate threat.

Long is known online as Inactive, Inactivee0 and inactivecvx. He allegedly participated in the criminal activities of “764,” a Nihilistic Violent Extremist (NVE) network that aims to destabilize society through chaos and exploitation of at-risk populations, including minors.

The indictment alleges that in late 2024, Long participated in animal crushing, sexually exploited a juvenile in Washington state and committed cyberstalking and threats against a juvenile in Kern County.

“This defendant allegedly engaged in acts of extreme cruelty by exploiting a child, abusing animals, and threatening violence,” said Attorney General Pamela Bondi. “The Justice Department will stop at nothing to dismantle this network and bring offenders to justice.”

FBI Director Kash Patel highlighted the FBI’s commitment to this case.

“The FBI has no tolerance for anyone who preys on children or other vulnerable members of society,” Patel said. “This defendant allegedly targeted juveniles, took part in animal crushing, and was part of a violent online network which seeks to sow chaos and destabilize our society. The FBI will work with our law enforcement partners to investigate and hold accountable anyone who engages in such reprehensible and illegal activity.”

The investigation is being led by the FBI with support from the Porterville Police Department and Tulare County District Attorney’s Office. It is part of Project Safe Childhood, a nationwide initiative to combat child sexual exploitation.

If he is convicted, Long faces up to 30 years in prison.
