Liverpool man, 20, guilty of terror offences

A man who was “motivated by hate and contempt” has been found guilty of terrorism offences after a trial at Manchester Crown Court.

Jacob Graham, now 20, was cleared of planning a terrorist attack but convicted of seven other offences, including preparing an act of terrorism and disseminating terrorist material.

Graham, from Norris Green, Liverpool, acquired and hid materials to make explosive substances, the court heard.

He will be sentenced on March 18.

Annabel Darlow, KC, prosecuting, had said Graham was motivated by a “hatred and contempt” for government.

During the trial, jurors were shown some of the lengthy 105 home videos that Graham recorded himself in his bedroom.
