A self-described white supremacist who has run message boards for “involuntarily celibate” men and pedophiles was arrested in Denver this week and faces several felony charges related to child porn and child sexual abuse in California, Fresno County Sheriff Margaret Mims said Saturday.
Nathan Daniel Larson, 40, is currently charged with harboring a minor and is in jail in Colorado awaiting an extradition hearing on December 24.
Mims called the case “extremely disturbing,” involving Larson, from Catlett, Virginia, and a 12-year-girl in Fresno he met online in October. Larson allegedly flew to Fresno and met the girl, and the two of them boarded a plane bound for Washington, D.C., with a stopover in Denver, where he was arrested.

“This particular case is extremely disturbing,” Fresno County Sheriff Margaret Mims said.
Larson began communicating with the unnamed victim living in Fresno, California, mid-October through multiple social media platforms. He convinced the girl “through manipulation and grooming” to send him inappropriate images of herself, authorities said.
Eventually Larson flew from Virginia to Fresno, then about 2 a.m. Monday persuaded the girl to sneak out of her home, authorities said.
The two took a rideshare vehicle to the Fresno Airport, authorities said.
Larson made the girl wear a wig and told her to act as if she was disabled and unable to speak so she couldn’t converse with anyone as they boarded a plane, authorities said.
