Nicholas Gilpin, 23, of Dippingwell Court, Farnham Common, near Slough, has been sentenced to three years and four months’ imprisonment for terrorism offences at Woolwich Crown Court.
He was convicted of four counts of possessing terrorist information, encouragement of terrorism, and two counts of stirring up racial hatred, following a four-week trial at the same court which concluded on October 23.
Gilpin was arrested at a property in the Hereford area on October 18 2021, where they seized his electronic devices.
These contained racist and anti-Semitic rhetoric, along with instructions on how to kill people with close combat weapons, details on how to use weapons and make explosives, chemical weapons and firearms.
There were also instructions on how to commit other illegal activities.
Gilpin was found to have distributed videos and written material on the Telegram messaging app, which was intended to stir up racial hatred or was likely to do so.
On March 16 2021, Gilpin published a statement on the same online app to encourage terrorism.
He was charged in connection with the offences on January 20 2023.
Head of Counter Terrorism Policing South East Detective Chief Superintendent Claire Finlay, said: “From our investigation it is clear that Gilpin held an extreme right-wing ideology – sharing his racist and anti-Semitic views with others online – and was in possession of terrorist documents which had the sole aim of causing harm to our society.
“Unfortunately, Gilpin is not the only individual sharing this kind of dangerous content online which can and does encourage terrorism and may be seen and acted upon by those vulnerable to radicalisation.
“Please remain vigilant when you are online and stay alert to anyone around you who may be getting drawn into extreme content on the Internet.”
Thames Valley Police stated that anyone who sees or hears something that could be terrorist-related should call police in confidence on 0800 789 321.
The force added: “In an emergency, always dial 999. ”
