Nick Fuentes was closely tied to Ali Alexander, a far-right organizer accused of pedophilia.
Alexander, a former Fuentes ally, faced allegations of grooming underage boys aged 15-17 via explicit texts and meetup requests during "Stop the Steal" (2021-2023).
He denies predatory intent, claiming consensual "flirting."
Fuentes, aware of the claims since 2020, defended Alexander, calling it "flirting" and prioritizing loyalty to Alexander.
They collaborated on youth outreach, with Fuentes giving Alexander access to his Groyper followers.
Nick Fuentes admitted to knowing about the allegations that Ali Alexander was grooming underage boys as early as 2017.
Video evidence and statements from various sources indicate that Fuentes was aware of these allegations, when he commented on Alexander's behavior, stating there was "abundant evidence" that Alexander sought to interact sexually with young white boys.
Despite this, Fuentes continued to associate with Alexander for years, including collaborating on political projects like the Stop the Steal campaign.
Fuentes has been accused of downplaying or denying the allegations at times, and in some instances, he allegedly pressured victims to recant their claims, such as offering political jobs to one accuser, Lance Johnston, to disavow evidence.
Fuentes had to address the accusations on his podcast.
“I talked to Ali,” Fuentes said. “He understands how strongly people feel — how strongly I feel — and he’s bowing out of public life. So nobody has to worry about that.”
Fuentes also appeared to place blame on the accusers.
“If you are flirting with adult gay men because you think it’s going to land you a job, you know full well what you’re doing and it’s gross,” Fuentes added. “Sorry, but even at 15, I would have never sent nudes to an adult gay man. There’s something wrong there.”
