A Pennsylvania man is being accused by federal prosecutors of traveling to California to have sex with a 13-year-old girl in a plot that would have culminated in both their suicides if not for law enforcement intervention.
Officials with the U.S. Department of Justice held a press conference and released a complaint surrounding the allegations against Matthew Edward Pysher on Monday morning. The complaint, filed Sunday in Los Angeles, charges Pysher, 18, with travel with intent to engage in illicit sexual conduct.
According to the complaint, Pysher groomed and encouraged a girl, listed as “Minor Victim One,” to send him sexually explicit material and images of self-harm over a Discord server. Discord is an instant messaging and voice communication platform.
The complaint stated that the victim met Pysher in a server related to individuals suffering from mental illness.
“Among other things, Pysher specifically encouraged Minor Victim One, via chat messages, to engage in acts of self-harm, including by establishing a Discord server where [the victim] could be filmed using blades to cut herself,” the complaint states, adding that the victim only recently turned 13 years old.

Arrest the girls parents as accomplices.
From the article:
Monday, the Department of Justice explained the teenage suspect is part of a nihilistic violent extremist (NVE) group called 764, whose members, according to federal officials, are known to “engage in criminal conduct within the United States and abroad in furtherance of political, social or religious goals that derive primarily from a hatred of society at large and a desire to bring about its collapse by sowing indiscriminate chaos, destruction and social instability.”

In other words, he’s a brainwashed Democrat.
Only in 21 century: “… victim met Pysher in a server…”. Not in a bar, not in the bushes, not in a movie theater, but inside of a freaking server!
Modern day Romeo and Juliet?
Don’t Fear The Reaper.
‘In other words, he’s a Democrat.’
Needs more cowbell.
Oh yes. This is strictly for coffee shop playlists.
There is a photo connected with this case, but I’m not sure if it’s a photo of the 18 y/o man or the 13 y/o girl.
So many of the factual events we read these days show that a good part of America is living sick lives like caracters in a very bad dystopian novel.
Politically biased Judges breaking the law and their oaths of office to harm people they disagree with, people stabbing and maiming strangers, pedophiles,
lesbians, homos and cross dressers constantly in our faces, illegals running amok raping and killing, mobs of leftists openly fighting law enforcement officers,
municipalities permitting filthy people to openly crap and urinate on the sidewalks while mobs loot stores with impunity, islamists openly attack and beat Jews
and Christians and block city traffic with their bowing, praying and caterwauling in the streets from sidewalk to sidewalk, entertainers, athletes, politicians and
everyday Americans shouting to the world how much they hate America and their fellow citizens.
There is far too much craziness and bad conduct to name it all.
Who ever thought we would see this in America?
There is no question that self identified democrats, leftists and progressives have brought this on.
The important questions now are can it be stopped or are we past the tipping point>?
And if it is not too late exactly how can it be stopped and reversed?
Always figured the future was going to be dystopic, but I didn’t expect to actually see it.
Trump, turn off the internet. For the love of humanity.
This kid needs a farm job. Breaking rocks, now.
“The abuse culminated in Pysher traveling from eastern Pennsylvania, specifically the borough of Bangor, to Los Angeles to meet the young girl for sexual activity.” Guess there aren’t any girls in Bangor who are into that.
I wonder how many in NVE are also in Antifa. They sound like two peas on a pod to me.
In a press release that was also issued Monday, the Department of Justice explained the teenage suspect is part of a nihilistic violent extremist (NVE) group called 764, whose members, according to federal officials, are known to “engage in criminal conduct within the United States and abroad in furtherance of political, social or religious goals that derive primarily from a hatred of society at large and a desire to bring about its collapse by sowing indiscriminate chaos, destruction and social instability.”
Why?
I fully expect that he never intended to kill himself - just her, after he had sex with her.
