A Manistee County man faces federal charges for allegedly exploiting children online.

A 47-year-old man from Manistee County, Richard Anthony Reyna Densmore, has been federally charged for allegedly exploiting children online and encouraging victims to commit self-harm for his gratification. Densmore used the username "Rabid" and created a Discord chatroom called "Sewer," which streamed minors engaging in self-harm and sexually explicit conduct. Prosecutors claim that he solicited minors to engage in similar activities and kept related images and videos on his phones. The FBI has provided parents with precautionary steps to monitor their children's online activity and discuss the risks of sharing information and content.
