Inside 764 Episode 6 tells the true story of Chloe, a survivor who unknowingly dated a member of the 764 online cult - and later helped bring about his arrest.

After discovering her ex-boyfriend was exploiting minors through encrypted platforms linked to 764, Chloe tried to report him to local authorities and was ignored.
