Pedophilia advocate indicted in California on charges of kidnapping, child enticement, sexual exploitation, and more; feds search for more victims
FRESNO — Federal prosecutors here have secured an indictment against a white supremacist pedophilia advocate, failed Virginia legislature candidate, and convicted presidential-threatener who was arrested in December for allegedly kidnapping a 12-year-old girl he met online.
Nathan Larson, 40, was charged by indictment last week with kidnapping, coercion and enticement of a minor, sexual exploitation of a minor, transportation of a minor with intent to engage in illegal sexual activity, and receipt of material involving the sexual exploitation of minors. Three of the charges carry a possible life sentence in federal prison.
Larson made headlines last December when he allegedly traveled from his home state of Virginia to Fresno County, abducted a 12-year-old he’d been chatting with online, and was arrested at a Denver airport on his way back home. Authorities say Larson, in online chats, made clear his intentions to sexually abuse the girl, but “get her pregnant” at age 13, according to the criminal complaint.
During the Denver layover, Larson was allegedly observed sexually battering the girl. After he was arrested and the girl was rescued, authorities learned he reportedly told her to wear a wig and fake a developmental disability to avoid being questioned during the trip.

GAINESVILLE, Fla. — A former University of Florida associate professor and researcher has been indicted on allegations of fraudulently getting a federal grant by concealing ties with the Chinese government.
Lin Yang, 43, a resident of China, is charged with six counts of wire fraud and four counts of making false statements to a U.S. agency, the U.S. Attorney’s Office reported in a news release Wednesday.
"The taxpayer dollars that funded Yang’s research were intended to benefit the health and well-being of U.S. citizens," U.S. Attorney Lawrence Keefe for the Northern District of Florida said in the news release. "But our indictment alleges that Yang engaged in acts of deliberate deception so that he could also further the research goals of the Chinese Communist government and advance his own business interests."
Other University of Florida faculty members have come under scrutiny for possibly running afoul of disclosure requirements, and this indictment is the latest in the U.S. government's effort to prosecute trade secret theft.
