🚨**CONTENT ADVISORY ** 41 GIRLS 12-17 TARGETED ON SNAPCHAT for s3xual exploitation. Recorded S3xual assaults. Threats to harm their families.

"Malachi Morgan Thomas, 24, of Virginia, was sentenced Thursday to 40 years in prison for sexual exploitation of children and possession of child sexual abuse material (CSAM).

According to court documents, Thomas hacked into a minor’s Snapchat account to coerce about 41 minor girls between the ages of 12 and 17 to “engage in sexually explicit conduct.”

His tactics — leveraging hacked accounts, fear of physical harm, psychological manipulation, and physical assaults.

According to the documents, Thomas said that he led a criminal organization and as long as the girls did what he said, they’d be safe. He also threatened to hack the girls’ accounts, or harm them and their families.

Many of the victims he targeted suffered from anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues and that many had previously been victims of sexual abuse. In at least one instance, Thomas knew that the victim was in foster care. 

On June 7, 2020, Thomas travelled to a victim’s home and assaulted the victim, which he recorded and saved in his Snapchat account.

On July 9, 2020, Thomas traveled to a mall in Virginia to meet a victim he exploited on Snapchat.

The victim’s father had learned of Thomas’ actions and appeared at the mall instead of the victim.

On Oct. 1, 2020, Fairfax County Police arrested Thomas."
