Overview
- Dihan Rahman, 19, was sentenced Wednesday to four years and six months at the Old Bailey and must serve at least two thirds in custody.
- He pleaded guilty to three counts each of possessing terrorist documents, stalking, and making indecent images of children.
- Device analysis uncovered bomb‑making guides, a terrorist manual, and mixed extremist content spanning far‑right, pro‑ISIS, and incel material, and linked him to running the far‑right Strumjäger group on Telegram.
- Prosecutors said he stalked two girls after a rejection, doxxed them and a teacher, and posted threats that forced the school prom to move with extra security, with no evidence he planned an actual attack.
- A teacher’s confiscation of his phone revealed violent images and a manifesto, prompting a Counter Terrorism Policing London probe that officials say shows the value of early reporting by schools.
