Pennsylvanian charged with having child sex abuse material has ‘extremist ideology,’ prosecutors say

Associated Press  

PITTSBURGH — Federal prosecutors say a man from the Pittsburgh area charged with possessing child sexual abuse material also targeted the city’s Jewish community with antisemitic flyers and has previously said he wanted to commit a “high kill-count” attack. The U.S. attorney’s office in Pittsburgh said Wednesday that it successfully argued against bail for Aidan Harding, 20, during a hearing earlier this month. They wrote in a Feb. 12 filing that Harding is accused of having the child sexual abuse material on his phone, not producing such material or trying to meet a child. Prosecutors allege Harding follows a “racially-motivated violent extremist ideology” and has more than 20 guns.
