Teenager denies sharing terrorist publications

An 18-year-old man has denied disseminating terrorist publications.

Alex Edwards, from Morriston in Swansea, appeared before Winchester Crown Court on Friday.

The offence, alleged to have taken place on a date between 24 September and 16 November 2023, is understood to relate to an extreme right-wing homemade video.

Mr Edwards, previously known as Alex Hutton, pleaded not guilty to sharing the file while intending or being reckless as to whether they could encourage the preparation of acts of terrorism.

Judge Christopher Parker KC adjourned the case until the trial on the terrorism offence and an offence of attempting to cause grievous bodily harm with intent, which is set to start on 2 July.
