The judge however ruled that even though there was sufficient evidence for a prosecution there was no public interest in proceeding on those charges. Nugent pleaded not guilty to two counts of encouraging terrorism. He pleaded guilty to five counts of dissemination of terrorist publications and 11 counts of possession of a document containing information likely to be useful to a person preparing or committing an act of terrorism. A further six charges were subsequently added. Nugent was arrested on 19 August 2020 and initially charged with 12 Terrorism Act offences. He also shared footage of the attack in Christchurch on the one-year anniversary of the atrocity in March last year and posted the manifesto of the perpetrator of the attack. LONDON (AP) Internet companies scrambled Friday to remove graphic video filmed by a gunman in the New Zealand mosque shootings that was widely available on social media for hours after the horrific attack. A judge at Kingston crown court jailed him for three-and-a-half years.Ī Metropolitan police commander, Richard Smith, said: “Nugent freely shared his abhorrent extremist views with others over a messaging app, and he passed on manuals detailing how to produce deadly weapons and explosive devices.”
