A 17-year-old Swedish girl is suspected of offences against a Norwegian child she contacted through Roblox, according to an investigation by SVT. The girl is also suspected of rape of a child, incitement to suicide and gross unlawful coercion.
She was taken into custody in the Stockholm area on June 24. The alleged offences are said to have occurred between September 2024 and June 2026, according to court documents. SVT Verifierar and Nyhetskoll have linked her to an alias active in the Com network, an online network associated with cybercrime, sexual extortion and violent extremism.
SVT says the alias contacted a Norwegian girl in 2024, when the child was around 10. The teenager is suspected of committing offences against her, according to SVT’s information. It is not known whether the current suspicions relate to the Norwegian child because of confidentiality rules.
Some groups in Com groom and extort children and young people to force them to harm themselves. Other groups carry out arson attacks or street violence. The crimes are filmed and shared to give perpetrators status, SVT reports. The 764 group is among the network’s most notorious.
Prosecutor Emelie Hammar told SVT that investigators suspect the case is connected to “violent extremist digital environments”. She described the investigation as extensive and involving international aspects, but declined to comment further. She said investigators were considering whether offences committed online may have targeted people in other countries.
The girl was released from custody in late August and taken into care under Sweden’s Young Persons Care Act the same day. Her lawyer declined to comment to SVT. The girl has previously denied the offences.
SVT says it has linked at least nine Swedish criminal cases since 2024 to parts of the Com network involved in violent extremism and sexual extortion. Roblox said it opposes the Com and 764 network, removes users and content linked to it, and works with law enforcement.
