Nathan Larson, a 37-year-old accountant from Charlottesville, Virginia, is running for Congress as an independent candidate in his native state. He is also a pedophile, as he admitted to HuffPost on Thursday, whoĀ hasĀ bragged in website posts about raping his late ex-wife. In a phone call, Larson confirmed that he created the now-defunct websites suiped.orgĀ and incelocalypse.today ā chat rooms that served as gathering places for pedophiles and violence-minded misogynists like himself. HuffPost contacted Larson after confirming that his campaign website shared an IP address with these forums, among others. His sites were terminated by their domain host on Tuesday. On the phone, he was open about his pedophiliaĀ andĀ seemingly unfazed about his long odds of attaining government office. āA lot of people are tired of political correctness and being constrained by it,ā he said.Ā āPeople prefer when thereās an outsider who doesnāt have anything to lose and is willing to say whatās on a lot of peopleās minds.ā
When asked whether heās a pedophile or just writes about pedophilia, he said, āItās a mix of both. When people go over the top thereās a grain of truth to what they say.ā Asked whether there was a āgrain of truthā in his essay about father-daughter incest and another about raping his ex-wife repeatedly, he said yes, offering that plenty of women have rape fantasies. According to LarsonāsĀ campaign manifesto, his platform as a āquasi-neoreactionary libertarianā candidate includes protecting gun ownership rights, establishing free trade and protecting ābenevolent white supremacy,ā as well as legalizing incestuous marriage and child pornography.
In the manifesto, Larson called Nazi leader Adolf Hitler a āwhite supremacist hero.ā He urged Congress to repeal the Violence Against Women Act, adding, āWe need to switch to a system that classifies women as property, initially of their fathers and later of their husbands.ā He also showed sympathy for men who identify as involuntary celibates, or incels, suggesting it is unfair that they āare forced to pay taxes for schools, welfare, and other support for other menās children.ā Using the pseudonymsĀ Leucosticte and Lysander,Ā Larson frequently participated in conversations on his own message boards, he confirmed to HuffPost.
As Lysander on suiped.org, a forum for āsuicidal pedophiles,ā Larson wrote numerous posts endorsing child rape and other forms of sexual abuse. āWhy doesnāt every pedo just focus on making money so they can get a pedo-wife and then either impregnate her with some fucktoys or adopt some fucktoys?ā he wrote on the platform in October. āThat would accommodate both those who are and arenāt into incest. And of course, the adoption process lets you pick a boy or a girl.ā Larson has a 3-year-old daughter who lives with relatives. He told HuffPost that he relinquished his parental rights during a custody battle. His ex-wife got a court-ordered restraining orderĀ against him in 2015Ā before she died by suicide.He has since remarried, he says, and is now living inĀ Catlett, Virginia. Larson used the moniker āLeucosticteā on incelocalypse.today ā a forum for incels who are pedophiles that was removed this week after the websiteĀ BabeĀ contacted the domain host. There, heĀ identified as a āhebephilic rapist,ā noting that heās not a typical incel because heād had sex by raping his ex-wife. According to the site, which HuffPost viewed before it was taken down, āincelocalypseā refers to āthe day we make the jailbaits our rape-slaves.ā (The term ājailbaitā is slang for a person who is under the legal age of consent for sex.)
HuffPost did not view any posts explicitly stating that he has engaged in sexual activity with minors, although he repeatedly expressed a desire to have sex with infants and children, including his own daughter. In the phone call, Larson said that the word āpedophileā is āvagueā and ājust a label,ā adding that itās ānormalā for men to be attracted to underage women. He said he did not commit any crimes. In a 3,300-word essay on incelocalypse.today, titled āHereās How to Psyche Yourself Up to Feel Entitled to Rape,ā Larson tells other members: āDonāt forget: feminism is the problem, and rape is the solution.ā On the platform, he also advocated for father-daughter marriage, killing women and raping virgins. Larson is less worried about his run for Congress than about his sites coming down. He told HuffPost that the termination of his websites is an affront to his freedom of speech and that heās going to try to get them hosted elsewhere. Not that itāll matter ā there are still plenty of forums where incels and other such communities can congregate.Ā The removal of Larsonās sites caused an uproar on incels.me, a separate, much larger forum for incels. Larsonās political ambitions span more than a decade. He first ran for Congress in Virginiaās 1st District in 2008 on what he described as an āanarcho-capitalistā platform. That same year, he sent a letter to the Secret ServiceĀ threatening to kill the president, which landed him in federal prison for 14 months and barred him from seeking public officeĀ in Virginia (convicted felons are free to run for federal office). But in 2016, then-Virginia Gov. Terry McAuliffe (D) restored voting and other civil rights to thousands of felons, allowing Larson to run for state office. In 2017 he ran in Virginiaās House of Delegates District 31 and secured less than 2 percent of the vote. Now he is gunning for a seat in Virginiaās 10th Congressional District.
Until it was pulled down, Larsonās site Nathania.org, a wiki page with details about his latest candidacy, featured posts titled āA Man Should Be Allowed to Choke His Wife to Death as Punishment for Cutting Her Hair Short Without Permission, or Other Acts of Gross Insubordination,ā āAdvantages of Father-Daughter Incestā and āThe Justifiability of an Incelās Kidnapping a Girl and Keeping Her as His Rape-Slave for Sex and Babymaking.ā Wiki pages can be edited by other people, but Larson confirmed he wrote these posts as well as several other disturbing entries. In āLetās Define What Rape Is,ā a 3,000-word essay posted on Nathania.org as well as other incel sites, Larson wrote: āWomen are objects, to be taken care of by men like any other property, and for powerful men to insert themselves into as it pleases them, and as they believe will be in womenās own interests. In most cases, their interests are aligned, as long as the man is strong. Female sex-slaves actually get a much better deal than animals, because in most cases, they are allowed to reproduce, unlike animals raised for meat or companionship.ā When asked what his constituents would think about his pedophiliac writings, he said, āPeople are open-minded.ā He continued, āA lot of people who disagreed with someone like Trump ā¦ might vote for them anyway just because the establishment doesnāt like them.ā
Clarification:Ā Language in this story has been amended to clarify that, until 2016, Larson was barred only from running for state office. He was always eligible to run for federal office.
