A 19-year-old involved with a satanic neo-Nazi group, Cameron Finnigan, has been sentenced to six years in prison for inciting suicide, possessing terrorist documents, and holding indecent images of children.
Finnigan joined 764, an extremist group linked to the Order of Nine Angles, in late 2023. The group promotes Nazi occultism and has ties to violent crimes.
Prosecutors revealed that Finnigan encouraged a girl to hang herself and stream it online, intending to share the footage with his group.
Terrorist Activity and Evidence
Finnigan, who communicated with members on Telegram, Discord, and Snapchat, used the alias ACID and referenced the Satanic Bible in his activities.
He accessed a terrorist document outlining methods for truck attacks and discussed plans to harm a homeless person near his home. While no direct evidence of attempted murder was found, he shared disturbing messages and images related to violence.
Disturbing Home Findings
Police discovered:
- A Satanic Beast tapestry
- Knives, swastikas, and satanic symbols
- A punchbag with slash marks outside his room
- Devices containing indecent images of children and graphic 764 propaganda
Psychological Evaluation
The court heard that Finnigan had mental health challenges, though it was determined he did not exhibit core features of autistic spectrum disorder (ASD).
His behaviour was described as “indiscriminate and unpredictable,” posing a high risk to the public, including children.
Sentencing and Judge’s Remarks
Sentencing him to six years in jail with a three-year extended licence, Mr Justice Jay stated:
“You pose a high risk of serious harm to the public, including children.”
Finnigan’s case highlights the dangers posed by online extremist groups and the role they play in radicalizing vulnerable individuals.
