lyme predators is using common social media and gaming sites to find young victims. their goal to manipulate the victims to share violent images of themselves. self-mutilating killing pets, or even sharing sexual images. ktvu jana katsuyama spoke with the fbi and an investigative journalist who has been tracking the group. she has this special report on the methods and the mental anguish the predators inflict. >> i've been working on extremism for maybe about seven years now. this is some of the worst stuff i've ever seen. >> investigative journalist ali winston was part of a collaborative team, including journalists from the u.s, germany and romania who collaborated on an investigation

into the online group called 764. winston says the group's name comes from the zip code of the founder, the members gather on social media and manipulate young people to harm themselves for the group's pleasure. >> the stories that we heard from the victims, a number of whom we interviewed for this collaborative, was really they were heart rending, winston said. >> victims would be asked to send compromising or nude photos or harm themselves by inflicting cuts or so-called cut signs. >> it's when you carve that person's handle into your skin with a blade or a razor, or another sharp object. and, this was this is a modus operandi of seven, six, four. they do this all the time, and some of the some of the cut signs that i've seen are just horrific. >> winston says the group's members also would order victims to commit violent acts on

animals. >> that's something else that 764 asks people to do to hurt their pet. there's a young woman who is who beheaded her hamster, live in a what they call a red room, which is basically a live stream room on discord, a video chat. so that's the sort of thing that would happen. >> we spoke with the fbi, which issued an alert this past fall about seven, six, four and other similar groups. robert tripp is special agent in charge for the san francisco office of the fbi. and he says this isn't just happening on the dark web or obscure corners of the internet. >> the dark web is a part of this, but these predators are identifying their victims in very public facing social media platforms. that's where they find these people. they find them in the social media platforms that all of the kids are using, that our families are using, and that includes many of the social media platforms that are based right in the bay area or used by children here, instagram, telegram, discord,

twitter acts, roblox are those places where you are seeing this. any public facing platform is a potential vector for this kind of activity. >> online predators, bullying and exploitation are not new, but tripp says money is not the main motive of groups such as seven six, four. >> but the difference is the element of violence. these people aren't merely lacking empathy with their victims, they actually derive pleasure from making their victims suffer. and that is truly disturbing for us. that's why this is such a high priority for us. and often the group's targets are young people who already feel isolated, insecure, or struggle with mental health issues. the primary age range we see is 8 to 17 is where we're concerned. >> seven, six, four, 100% seeks out and preys on children, young folk with mental health issues. they have an entire guide that

they've crafted and distributed amongst themselves on how to identify those folks, how to bring them into a relationship. >> the fbi san francisco office says it is working closely with social media companies to investigate. >> we have a good relationship with with many providers here in the bay area. when they come across information, they'll block it, they'll take it down and they'll notify law enforcement. >> last month, the tech coalition, which represents some three dozen major tech companies, launched a new effort called lantern, where companies agree to share information about online predators across platforms. but protecting young people is an increasing challenge. a report by the ncmec, the national center for missing and exploited children, says its cyber tip line received more than 1 million reports in 2023. in the u.s, more than 110,000 of those reports were from california, the center says, while electronic communication service providers

are required to report bad actors, now, quote, widespread adoption of end to end encryption by reporting isps will begin at some point in the calendar year 2024 and could result in a loss of up to 80% of ncmec, cybertipline reports. adding to the challenge, a new study from stanford's internet observer team says the ncmec s systems are in dire need of updates to keep pace with technology, something that would require a big increase in funding. the fbi says one factor that can help is for family members, friends, teachers and other trusted adults to be watchful for any signs that something might be wrong if they see their children suddenly become very withdrawn, they see their children covering up, hiding their arms and legs. >> for example, because cutting is a part of this, those are warning signs. simple mood changes, profound mood changes can be a good indicator as well.

>> and most important, the fbi says, is to talk with young people about their interactions online. >> there are people on the internet that may pretend to be your friends, but they're not your friends. having that kind of a conversation. >> jana katsuyama, ktvu fox two news. >> the month of may is mental health awareness month, and the fbi says it is important for young people and parents to know where to turn for help for support, along with 911, you can get help at one 800. call fbi or call the national center for missing and exploited children at one 800 the lost. they can work with social media sites to track down predators and also work to remove images of victims that predators might have posted to online. >> i mean, it's just so, so scary, right? as parents really have to do whatever we can to every day protect the kids online. yeah. all right. coming up at 11 tonight. how the warriors are helping oakland educators celebrate the end of

warrants for him over alleged war crimes in gaza, as well as hamas leaders. the move was strongly denounced by president biden and now some congressional republicans want to show their support by inviting mr. netanyahu to capitol hill. the prime minister has not told us leaders whether he would accept an invitation to address congress, but tonight on fox news, he did address the icc arrest warrants. >> despicable symmetry. and of course, this prosecutor never goes after the tyrants of tehran or the butchers of syria, or what is happening in yemen, the killers of yemen or anywhere else, or north korea, anywhere else. >> well, this comes after a symbolic and controversial move by spain, norway and ireland. all three countries saying they will now formally recognize palestine as its own state. those european nations see statehood for palestine as a way to end the war. but the u.s. has shown no plans to follow suit. >> coming up, a state bill that

state trial for david depape. san francisco's district attorney charged with attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon, elder abuse, residential burglary, false imprisonment and threatening the life or serious bodily harm to a public official, and added a new charge of threatening the staff or family of a public official. now, prosecutors and public defenders are selecting the jurors who will decide his fate in county court. ucsf school of law professor david levine says while the case is just getting underway, the outcome could be decided by who is selected to be on that jury. >> experienced lawyers say that picking the jury is the whole thing, because those are the people who ultimately will make the decision and that the choices that you make as a lawyer in terms of, agreeing to hear let somebody be on the jury or not make can make all the difference in the world. >> due to the high profile nature of the case, the jurors are facing additional security measures, with deputies just outside the courtroom staffing a checkpoint and enforcing rules, including no water bottles

inside, jurors faced questions on just how much they had heard about the case and even about their political leanings. jurors can be excused for cause if there's some reason they can't serve, but the attorneys will also get to remove some as peremptory challenges. randall knox is a former prosecutor and now a defense attorney. he says each side is now trying to pick the jury they think will deliver the verdict they want. but for prosecutors, the bar, he says, is lower. the prosecution's got a video. >> this is a 21st century case. they have the crime actually recorded, visually. so the question would be for the defense, can you find jurors that might be more sympathetic to somebody who's got mental illness, who believes in a bunch of conspiracy theories, is the jury selection process is expected to take several days. >> there is a hearing scheduled for next tuesday, the same day depape is due back in federal court, where he was already convicted in san francisco. christien kafton. ktvu fox two

news. >> okay, we also learned some new information regarding this. this afternoon. we learned that depapes defense team in that federal court case is now asking a new judge for a new judge. and they're also asking to halt that hearing after u.s. district judge jacqueline scott corley did not allow depape to address the court himself at last week's sentencing hearing, former president donald trump expected to hold a campaign fundraiser in san francisco next month. >> an invitation to the event, obtained by reuters, shows two venture capitalists will host the former president in the city on june 6th. the fundraiser, $600,000 per person or $500,000 for a couple other details of the visit have not been revealed. donald trump last made a high profile visit to the bay area in 2019 for a campaign fundraiser pretty close to seasonal around the bay area today. >> tomorrow we will have a few clouds increasing across the bay area and what will be noticeable

are the winds increasing out of the west 10 to 20. we will have a gust 25mph. otherwise, take a look at this. it's our live weather camera looking out towards the glorious san francisco and the coast is clear. if you can see right here that is san francisco city hall, all decked out in rainbow colors and recognition of harvey milk day today we did have temperatures slightly above normal and santa rosa right now at 64 degrees there. very mild at this hour. and to the south, san jose at 61 degrees. we do have these temperatures either side of either cooler or more mild than 24 hours ago. this signals a change. let me show you what that is. check that out right there. the coast is clear. in fact, if you want to pick up any kind of patchy fog, some low clouds, you have to go all the way south to oxnard, into oceanside, del mar, pacific beach and also mission beach in san diego, where boy, have they been engulfed in may gray all month long. this is the trough

that is clearing out our coastal areas, but there's a lot of cooler air aloft which signals that we will be cooler for your thursday. and once this does dig to the south, boy, our marine layer will come back in vengeance. all right, here we go for tomorrow morning as the clock ticks on by, officials sun up 553. it's going to be beautiful. a few high, thin clouds. they skirt through the area. they do increase towards sunset tomorrow night due to that trough. and then look what happens on friday. here comes that marine layer and it will surge all the way inland as well. so tonight some good sleeping weather in the 40s and 50s, cool spots that arose at 49 through rohnert park into cotati and windsor, 53 in san mateo, a little bit cooler than that in redwood shores and redwood city. 48 in morgan hill and gilroy. now tomorrow, temperatures are coming down, down from 86 to 82, in santa rosa, it was also 86 degrees in fairfield,

forecasting 81 there. otherwise pretty seasonal. that's pretty spot on in throughout livermore and pleasanton all the way to dublin, san ramon and danville, as well as alamo and 73 degrees. pretty much around east palo alto. here's your extended forecast. it will be pleasant but breezy tomorrow to downright windy gusts. and then by memorial day, we're talking about seasonal temperatures. but take a look at your saturday. some inland areas struggling to hit 70 to 72 degrees. heather. mike >> thank you roberta. well, this week is queer and transgender asian pacific islander week or sharpie week as we transition from aapi heritage month to pride month, san francisco was the first city in the country to celebrate the week, passing a resolution back in 2021, organizers say it's important to celebrate while also recognizing the discrimination that queer, transgender and aapi communities face. we heard from nguyen pham, president of san francisco

pride, about the intersectional identity celebrated with the week we are leading not only bicultural lives by being both american and of asian and pacific islander descent, but we're also navigating what it means to be openly lgbt. >> q so the fact that we have to take these different lenses is to our lived experience day in and day out, honestly makes life a little exhausting at times, but it also makes it just so beautiful and so rich and vibrant. >> pham also said he finds it exciting that the next generation of the sharpie community got to grow up seeing their identities reflected more in television and movies. >> all right, coming up in sports, a ticket to the women's college world series on the line. how stanford softball team is preparing for a big series this coming weekend. >> and then coming up on the 11:00 news, an event full of magic, how it helped showcase a ter m si

less than 48 hours from hosting its highly anticipated super regional matchup against ninth seeded lsu at home on the line, it is the winner punches their ticket to the college world series in oklahoma city. the cardinal held their practice today. they'll have another one tomorrow. one thing i noticed while i was out there today, well, it looked the same as any other stanford softball practice, and that is by no accident, head coach jessica allister wants her team to have a faceless opponent. she said she wants her girls to rely on their routine. her main message, though, to the team today simply beat lsu. >> when we talk about just beat lsu. it's kind of like postseason baseball in the sense that all of a sudden you see these major league baseball players, you know, looking like

little leaguers out there because all they want to do is win the game and they're enjoying the game. they're enjoying their teammates and just going out there and loving to compete. and i think when you can bring it back to that, and that's what happens in the postseason when people go on magical runs. just that energy of, do whatever we can to win. and stanford has a not so secret weapon. >> nasri canady, their superstar pitcher. she'll likely take the mound against the tigers. kennedy is one of, if not the best pitchers in the country. she's been called the caitlin clark of women's softball or college softball. rather, that was she was just named one of three finalists for the usa softball college player of the year award. given her stardom, though, she doesn't feel any added pressure, she said. rather, she just wants to enjoy this ride with her teammates. >> i don't think about that at all, actually. i just try to think, honestly, every day, every game, i just go out and think, what can i do best for this team? and how, how can i benefit them? so as long, every time the ball is in think, let'k

in the dugout, let's get back hitting and get some runs scored. so honestly, i'm just taking four years to play with my best friends. >> and they did just tell me that all those games now sold out. so if you want to go, it's too late to get tickets. but no worries, you can still catch it on tv. well, the giants in pittsburgh tonight taking on the pirates getting the 9 to 5 win. but it was a whole lot closer than that score would let on. the pirates blew a five run lead. it was a series of three rbi singles that won the giants the game. the final one right here, a sac fly that plated patrick bailey. the giants win this one. they'll look to close out that series with another win in pittsburgh tomorrow. and game one of the western conference finals tonight. dallas taking on the timberwolves. this one nail and nail. we're going to start in the third quarter was a one point game. that is until karl anthony towns did that jam that one in. all right replay of that one. you just watch those plays and you're like i simply could never do that. all right fourth

quarter. now less than a minute to go luka doing what he does best banking this shot. that would do it. final 108 103 dallas takes game one luka in kyrie. they combine for a monster 63 points tonight. game two that is on friday. >> going to be a great series as is the stanford one. and i'm no looking forward to that. they beat the tigers i know sold out. >> so they said they were really happy that they're shocked. yeah exactly. >> and also she was so composed when you were talking to her earlier just kind of saying we're going to take it game by game. but obviously the intention is we're going to go out there and win game by game. >> and they're hoping that obviously it's only two games. sure. not not three. so that'll be friday and saturday. hoping to avoid that third game on sunday. got it. two straight wins. >> all right bailey thank you guys. next at 11. >> it's a good start but it does not solve the problem by any means. >> i think that we're really starting to see some movement in making sure that these types of crimes, people are going to face severe consequences in california.
