Paedophile jailed on terror and indecent image charges.

Harry Blake, a follower of neo-Nazi and Satanic ideologies, has been jailed after committing further offences.

The 21-year-old from south-west London was previously given a suspended sentence in 2020 after admitting to 14 terror charges. He has now been sentenced to three years and two months in prison for breaching a counter-terror order, making an indecent image of a child, and other offences.

An Old Bailey judge said Blake posed a "significant risk" and sentenced him to a 38-month prison term, as well as placing him under a five-year serious crime prevention order.

Blake, who was previously known as Harry Vaughan, is the son of a House of Lords clerk and achieved high grades at his prestigious grammar school. However, he became involved in a "toxic online community" at a young age, which exposed him to extremist ideologies.

Last year, police found a laptop and mobile phone that Blake was prohibited from owning. These devices contained material that showed Blake's "continued interest" in right-wing extremism, including searches for the banned terrorist groups Sonnenkrieg Division and Atomwaffen Division.

The devices also contained videos of the "violent forcing" of sexual acts on women, and a film of a young boy being sexually abused by a man.

Despite admitting to previous crimes, Blake falsely asserted that his "mindset had changed" during his 2020 sentencing. However, the judge recognized that his views had not shifted and sentenced him to prison for his continued dangerous behaviour.
