A 26-year-old Washington DC resident has been charged with producing child pornography, coercing minors, and more in a shocking case of exploitation.
Zabdiel Aaron Rothschild allegedly used the gaming and messaging app Discord to communicate with three minor victims, starting in January 2025.
He asked for and received sexually explicit videos from the minors, and in one instance, directed a 13-year-old victim to record herself engaging in specific sexual acts.
The investigation by the FBI’s San Antonio, Washington, and San Francisco field offices revealed Rothschild’s disturbing conversations with the minors, including his boasts of age and power differences.
He even told one minor victim he wanted to carve his initials into her and choke her, leaving her unconscious.
