Those we know, those we don't and those who pay them.
In this article I will explore the individuals behind the creation of primate torture content, giving insight into how they operate, the nature of their zoosadism and their current status where possible.
Generally speaking, so called ‘VO’s’ or video operators/videographers are sourced from Facebook and Youtube. Indonesians who keep animals in filthy, negligent conditions are fawned over by zoosadists who’d like to secure themselves exclusive content. Hunters are also targeted in this manner, encouraged to make ‘custom videos for good money’. Being responsible for finding someone willing to torture animals affords a level of status and celebrity within the wider community. Those who cannot secure a VO can still pay to have their names appear on videos and enjoy inner circle status.
Mas Pochet, pictured above was creating zoosadism content as early as 2021. Whilst not that long ago, it feels like aeons apart from where we are now. A lot has happened since Pochet. There is a significant number of monkey molesters who wouldn’t even recognize Pochet’s face. I’d go as far as saying those who do would be in a minority. Yet at one point, he was a go to for content creation.
Owing to apathy on the part of law enforcement in Indonesia, Pochet has never faced any consequences for his involvement in monetised animal torture. He was given free reign to drown, strangle and mutilate animals and established a fanbase along the way.
Pochet was also a drunk. Those who dealt with him could be seen complaining of his poor service, how explaining what they wanted to see and having it happen on camera was something of an ordeal. It’s important to never make the mistake of approaching these people as evil geniuses, as time and time again they show themselves to be deeply inept and downright stupid. Pochet is no exception.
Among those who liaised with Pochet is the now incarcerated Holly Lesgresley, who went by TheImmolater. Whilst Pochet may still be walking free, Holly is not.
Wonder how comfortable Holly’s prison cell is? It’s worth noting that Lesgresley rocked back and forth and cried in court. She was deeply, deeply remorseful and very much upset about facing time behind bars.
A far cry from her brazenly sadistic Internet persona.
Ajis Rasajana, above, and Asep Nurul, below, were perhaps the highest profile arrests to date to emerge from Telegram. Ajis, despite torturing innumerable infant macaques to death, was frowned upon by zoosadists for not being extreme enough on camera. His crude, overtly sexual brand of abuse was considered too ‘soft’, with users on Telegram today suggesting he could have made more money if he had engaged in more brutal, graphic torture.
It’s worth noting here that whilst dog zoosadists are pretty mask off about their sexual motives, primate zoosadists are extremely particular about having people believe there is no sexual component to what they do. And that there are no elements of sadistic pedophilia in their behaviors. The presence of diapers and languages associated with infant humans is supposed to be considered entirely incidental.
I trust that nobody is here for an introduction to this subject, so I’m going to talk freely from this point onwards. We know that these people are dumb. We know that they are weird perverts, lets get on with it.
Among Ajis’ sponsors was a middle aged woman from Raton, New Mexico who I am choosing not to name here, yet. She remains free and active on Telegram. Ajis, before his arrest would go on to sexually abuse an infant macaque, raping it vaginally with a toothbrush, whilst uttering statements about ‘cleaning its pussy’. It is unknown who in the ‘community’ encouraged the production of this video.
Asep Nurul, in contrast to Ajis reveled in escalating violence and brutality. He was encouraged to engage in sodomy, sexual mutilation and line crossing that had only been talked about up until that point. His partnership with Stacey Storey and its horrific consequences stand as a testament to the capacity of these people to escalate. Stacey Storey has been arrested, and is perhaps one of the worst zoosadists to have ever existed. Asep, by now, likely walks free.
They set the standard and tone for everything that was to come. Dismemberment, sodomy, castration and unrestrainted brutality.
Lee Chin Wee, pictured above, would emerge from the disappearance of Rasajana and Nurul. At this point, Nurul had established sodomy based torture as standard practice. By now, we have seen infant macaques raped with hot nails, their eyes gouged out. No extreme is too extreme. Law enforcement has fallen into the background and media attention has all but evaporated. We’re back to vigilante shit. It is under these circumstances, rape fantasist and sadistic pervert Lee Chin Wee would emerge. Already capturing and torturing adult macaques for his own enjoyment, Wee found his people on Telegram and quickly established celebrity status.
A Malaysian family man, Wee operated from a bathroom and recorded a series of mind bending, depraved animal torture porn videos. The story of his exposure is perhaps better saved for its own article with proper credit being given to those involved. His story goes beyond zoosadism. The independent, unpaid actors who established his identity deserve for this story to be told. They would wait patiently over the course of a year for law enforcement to take charge and deal with Wee, who had monetised his urges to torture animals and established himself as one of the worlds worst zoosadists.
Tragically, law enforcement gave him a free pass. We speculate a bribe was accepted and videos simply disappeared. Without sufficient evidence, the court case could not go ahead. Nothing more was heard from Lee Chin Wee. Nobody who worked to establish his identity was thanked. Law enforcement were not responsible for analyzing his videos and noting details that would compromise his identity. No paid official did anything to determine the identity of Lee Chin Wee. No official figure put any work into dealing with this case. Any patient faith we had in the system was proven misplaced, and in hindsight we perhaps would have focused on simply making him go viral.
With Lee Chin Wee gone, a new, Subsaharan VO would emerge. Videos of infant vervets crucified, their bodies mangled, ears and limbs cut off would begin to surface. Whilst we do not know the identity of whoever filmed and participated in these videos, we do know who funded them.
These videos were shorter in duration, lower budget affairs that acted as a stopgap of sorts between Lee Chin Wee and the next major VO’s. There is no evidence of anybody other than the individual who funded them knowing the identity of the VO’s.
J.M refers to John Macaque, the alias of Sean Frohman. Sean Frohman is a self described ‘Information Technology Mastermind’. His reputation on Telegram is not that of a respected figure responsible for content creation, but a comical sideshow with an inflated ego. Sean Frohman has stubbornly maintained a high public profile, a Google search for his name will produce a photo from his linkedin profile;
Frohmans identity as a zoosadist and animal torture porn producer was confirmed beyond any reasonable doubt by the exposure of his real life friend Kei Peabody. Both Peabody and Frohman were engaged in viewing and distributing animal torture pornography, with Frohman being also responsible for creating it.
Despite both Frohman and Peabody’s ties to animal crush content and zoosadism being well documented and a source of entertainment among other zoosadists, both men walk free. Law enforcement does not appear to have confronted Sean Frohman and at this point likely never will. No curiosity or interest has been expressed by any official figure regarding Frohmans friendship with either Kei Peabody or now deceased zoosadist Colt Moss. No support has been provided following our noting that two men who know each other in real life both appeared to have accounts in animal torture porn chatrooms. No communication was received from law enforcement despite these avenues being open.
We are still screaming from the rooftops that Sean Frohman paid people to torture animals, Lee Chin Wee among them, with no response.
Whilst Peabody vanished upon being exposed, Frohman fought to the bitter end. He presents himself as an animal rights activist on linkedin, and was doing this whilst also consorting with other zoosadists on Telegram.
Sean Frohman fell into the unfortunate trap of being lost to both sides, the wider world would despise him as a zoosadist, and other zoosadists viewed him as a figure of ridicule and comedy. This would be the legacy of Sean Frohman, whilst it should have been arrest, it’s something all the same.
Sometime after the demise of Lee Chin Wee, Pinhead Michael, a German who is believed to be based around Wilmersdorf did something unprecedented. With the support of other zoosadists, he released a series of videos presented as originating from ‘The Family Club’. This would have likely been a small scale Telegram group occupied by a handful of sponsors. All of these videos featured infant macaques being brutally mutilated and cut to pieces with box cutters, sexually mutilated and sodomised.
What set them apart was the fact his VO, likely secured from Youtube, was an American, with a Ghostmane tattoo. The first white VO. Whilst the VO’s identity has never been established, and its improbable that even Michael has this information, he does appear to be a twenty something American who produced his animal torture porn from an Airbnb.
That Michael has never been approached by law enforcement is beyond explanation or belief.
Over the Summer of 2023, Nicholas Dryden (also known as Niko Bellic and Yung Snow) paid seventeen year old Sebastian Fiqri to torture around 20 infant macaques to death. With financial backing from Des Moines based lawyer Colt Moss and a car sales manager, Giancarlo Morelli, Dryden ran a number of Telegram groups, selling and distributing videos whilst maintaining a growing network of followers.
The aspiring rapper with a history of petty criminality carried out his animal abuse crimes in almost plain sight. He fast assumed celebrity status among primate zoosadists on Telegram, whilst not being the best liked he was providing videos of animals being brutally tortured and sexually mutilated at a point when new videos were not forthcoming. Some time after being arrested for driving related offences, he was approached by the United States Fish and Wildlife Services in relation to his zoosadism activity. Later, it would be determined that Fiqri was a minor when he was encouraged to torture and abuse animals in exchange for money, meaning the crush content produced by Dryden was deemed CSAM.
When the severity of the allegations against Dryden became apparent, other zoosadists made an organised effort to purge the videos he produced from their groups. They have, however, begun to resurface across newer groups.
Little is known of Giancarlo Morelli. He spent thousands of dollars on animal torture porn and had a keen interest in diapers and castration, Dryden worked with Fiqri to try and fulfil his fantasies and fetishes, arguing that he paid good money and should therefore be catered to. Fiqri had no issue with dressing infant macaques as human babies and engaging in their sexual mutilation and killing.
Moss was perhaps the highest profile zoosadist of the entire group, he would go on to secure his own VO after Drydens arrest and would not be caught until around a year after Drydens absence. He appeared confident that his status as a lawyer and wealth granted him a degree of immunity. It's difficult to set apart fact from fiction when he comes to claims made by Moss, although he has at least suggested that he travelled to South East Asia and met minors who encouraged to create crush porn and zoosadism content.
Despite efforts to keep Moss behind bars, as a flight risk and a serious criminal, the courts determined he should be granted bail. He used this freedom to commit suicide, escaping accountability and taking an abundance of information that could have aided in the capture of other zoosadists to the grave.
His own VO is therefore still unknown to us. He conspired with another zoosadist, a thirty something Pole who lives in England, to fund dozens of videos in a makeshift soundproofed room. These videos generated excitement for their use of pigtail macaques, which had not been used in crush porn up to that point. They were subject to incomprehensible torture and cruelty, their treatment a reflection of Moss’s inner nature. Moss’s imagination was dark and his VO was more than willing to cater to it.
In the backdrop of Colt Moss and Drydens zoosadism activity, an Austrian soccer enthusiast who operated on Telegram under the name Manuel was doing business with a blue collar worker, and meth addict called Romy Sasmita. Sasmita may be the most prolific zoosadist we have covered up to this point, he churned out content on an almost industrial scale. Upon his arrest, dead macaques were found in his trashcans, his instruments of torture around his house.
His arrest followed an incident in which he was used to make threats against individuals investigating zoosadism activity on Telegram, from the website Kiwifarms. His relationship with other zoosadists on Telegram was volatile, his behaviour at times similiar to the alcoholic Mas Pochet. His videos were considered hit and miss affairs, and he was deemed diffcult to manage.
Manuel, a young Austrian who has at least suggested his real name is Michael, shared pieces of information about Romy Sasmita in order to intimidate him into complying with continued content creation. Having sent him money, he became angered that Sasmita had not delivered the expected product. This incident caused a divide between zoosadists and bought about the formation of two factions, Moss’s Polish friend BP, and Manuel both separated into their own camps. Manuel was accused of threatening to ‘dox’ a VO, an act of high treason.
Sasmita was likely entirely disinterested in this drama and continued to produce videos for either side on a mercenary basis, funding his meth habit in the process. He maintained a friendship with Tori Wade throughout his time on Telegram. Wade acted as a major distributor and ushered new joiners into the community, monitoring their behaviour and moving them into more exclusive groups where she saw fit.
Despite her extensive involvement in zoosadist activity, Wade has only ever been arrested in relation to domestic issues, namely ‘maintaining a disorderly home’ and offences related to child neglect. Her presence on Telegram would decrease following her arrest, after years of dedicated participation in the abuse and torture of animals.
With Romy Sasmita gone, another major VO the community went quiet, perhaps out of fear of also facing legal consequences. He has since been carefully guarded by a handful of insiders. Among them, the middle aged woman from Raton, New Mexico who did business with Rasajana all those years back. Perhaps law enforcement could start with her…
Ibra, also known as Vion and Isaac continues to produce videos for a core group, some of their identities are known whilst others are not. Ibra does not appear to have any drug dependency issues and has become a reliable source of content for his funders. For a while the Austrian Manuel did business with Ibra, with involvement in his pay group ‘Oblivion’. He has a uniquely competent command of the English language and does not appear to be acting out desperation or poverty. He enjoys torturing animals. He participates in conversations on Telegram and enjoys being invovled in the ‘community’.
A significant lead for Ibra’s identity came in the form of a photo he took several years ago, after some research it was determined he had attended Uluwatu Temple as a photographer.
It s beyond the scope of my ability to question Marcos Sang Juragan, pictured above, however, had I the means to do so, I think it would represent a start in identifying and stopping a seriously dangerous criminal. Ibra remains active, interacting with his followers over video. He will likely continue to produce content, as he appears confident in his anonymity.
It is my hope that articles like this will generate awareness and renew the will to investigate active zoosadists. Ibra, who once produced a video spanning two hours in length featuring the electrocution and brutal torture of infant macaques, deserves to have the eyes of the Internet on him.
Beside the VO’s mentioned above, there are a couple of smaller players, namely ‘Floridaman’ and ‘Webster’, whoses gimmick was dressing as Spiderman to torture animals. Whilst this article does not present a perfectly accurate timeline of events, its an overview that should hopefully allow anyone who is new to this situation some insight into the people who are most responsible for the output of primate zoosadism content.
All support is appreciated, and any information on any of the individuals described above can be sent to fushigitimes@proton.me
How is it known that Vion took the photo?
