Strom pleads not guilty to seven BRAND NEW felony counts

Still no word from the Australian neo-Nazis (including Australia First candidate John Moffatt) who were involved with Strom as to whether they intend to disassociate themselves at all.

We can see why they wouldn’t, Strom is only a “political pedophile,” after all.

From the Charlottesville Daily Progess:

Supremacist pleads not guilty to felony counts
June 12, 2007

A Greene County white supremacist jailed on charges of possessing child pornography pleaded not guilty Monday to new felony counts against him.

A grand jury issued a seven-count indictment Wednesday against Kevin Alfred Strom, 50, alleging that he received child pornography and sought to sexually coerce a 10-year-old.

Strom had been held in the Albemarle-Charlottesville Regional Jail since January, when he was arrested and charged with possessing child pornography and intimidating a witness.

The new charges allege that he tried to sexually coerce “one or more� juveniles, including the 10-year-old, according to court documents.

Prosecutors said in previous court filings that Strom got to know, contacted and eventually harassed a young local girl between September 2005 and December 2006.


The new indictments also accuse Strom of acquiring pornography through “interstate commerce� and storing it on a computer.

Strom also is accused of assaulting and trying to intimidate an unnamed witness against him, according to court paperwork.

Prosecu-tors previously said that an unidentified witness in the case caught Strom naked at his computer looking at pictures of young girls.

Paperwork filed by the defendant indicates that the witness is his wife, Elisha Strom.

At one point, Strom mistakenly believed his wife had gone to authorities with allegations against him and sought to “intimidate and discredit her,� according to a previous motion filed by prosecutors.

Mark Potok, the director of the Intelligence Project, an arm of the Alabama-based Southern Poverty Law Center that researches and tracks hate groups, said Strom has been involved with the neo-Nazi movement for 30 years.

In 2005, Strom split with the National Alliance - formerly the largest white supremacist group in the country - to form the National Vanguard, which he ran from his Greene County home, Potok said.

Strom is scheduled for a June 20 jury trial in federal court.
