A 24-year-old man from south east London has admitted sharing extreme right-wing terrorist material on Telegram chat.

Alfie Stevens, who lives with his mum in Surrey Quays, pleaded guilty to three charges of dissemination of a terrorist document during a hearing on Friday at the Old Bailey.

The offences related to posts Stevens made to two groups on the encrypted Telegram app on January 27 2021.

He shared the White Resistance Manual and How To Start And Train A Militia Unit into a group entitled Band Of Brothers.

He also posted the How To Start And Train A Militia Unit document to a group named White Race Camp.

The charges stated that at the time he intended his actions to be a “direct or indirect encouragement” of terrorism or was “reckless to whether his conduct had such an effect”.

Stevens wore a white polo shirt, had his short blonde hair slicked back and stood behind his barrister in court to enter his guilty pleas.

Mr Justice Jeremy Baker adjourned his sentencing for a psychological and pre-sentence report to be prepared.

Stevens was told to return to the Old Bailey on October 13 to be sentenced by Judge Sarah Munro KC.

The defendant was granted continued unconditional bail.
