UK’s youngest convicted terrorist is spared prison.
A NEO-NAZI teenage terrorist avoided a custodial sentence yesterday.
The 16-year-old boy, who led a cell from his grandmother’s house in south-east Cornwall, was told he had ‘entered an online world of wicked prejudice and violent bigotry’, as he was sentenced to a two-year rehabilitation order by Judge Mark Dennis QC at the Old Bailey.
Warning he faced jail if he continued, the judge told Britain’s youngest convicted terrorist to ‘re-direct’ his future. From the age of 13, the boy collected far-right material, including bomb-making, and helped lead the now banned FKD — Feuerkrieg Division.
He recruited Paul Dunleavy, 17, from Rugby, Warwickshire, who was jailed for five-and-a-half years in November for preparing acts of terror.
The boy, who admitted 12 terror-related offences between October 2018 and July 2019, held his grandmother’s hand as he was sentenced by video-link from Bodmin magistrates’ court. Emily Pennink. Metro.
