Online Cultist Sentenced for Child Exploitation | Honolulu News

A 20-year-old from Hilo, Kalana Malu Limkin, has been sentenced to 10 years in federal prison for founding a sinister online group called “Cultist” that targeted minor girls with self-harm campaigns to produce child pornography and accelerate societal collapse. He solicited disturbing imagery, forced girls to carve his name into their skin, and was caught by the FBI in May 2023 after multiple reports. His nihilistic ideology weaponized child exploitation for online status, radicalizing youth into violence. After a failed attempt to withdraw his guilty plea, he faces 120 months in prison, 20 years supervised release, sex offender registration, and a lifetime ban from contacting five victims. Authorities urge anyone affected to report it immediately. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
