Nathan Larson is a 37-year-old accountant and a congressional candidate in Charlottesville, Virginia. He admitted to HuffPost on Thursday that he is a pedophile, raped his ex-wife and was the creator of two now-defunct chatrooms for pedophiles and violent misogynists. 

As a candidate for a seat in Virginia’s 10th Congressional District, Larson identifies as a “quasi-neoreactionary libertarian.” His campaign agenda includes protecting gun ownership rights, establishing free trade, and restoring “benevolent white supremacy” and “discrimination rights.”  Larson goes on to praise Hitler as a “white supremacist hero.” He also supports legalizing incestuous marriage and child pornography. 

Furthermore, Larson’s agenda supports repealing the Violence Against Women Act, arguing that “we need to switch to a system that classifies women as property, initially of their fathers and later of their husbands.” 

Larson supports men who call themselves involuntary celibates, also known as incels, which he describes as men “who have never slept with a woman at all, or even held a woman's hand.” He argues that they should not be “forced to pay taxes for schools, welfare, and other support for other men’s children.” A man who identified as an incel drove a truck into pedestrians in Toronto last month, killing 10 people. 

HuffPost asked Larson whether he is a pedophile or just writes about pedophilia. In response, Larson said, “it’s a mix of both.” HuffPost also asked him specifically about an essay he wrote about father-daughter incest and another in which he wrote about raping his ex-wife repeatedly. He said there was a “grain of truth” to both essays. 

Larson has a 3-year-old daughter who lives with relatives; the girl’s mother got a restraining order on Larson back in 2015, but she has since committed suicide. Larson has since remarried.

HuffPost also dug up some of Larson’s other essays and online comments. On an online forum he owned for “suicidal pedophiles,” he wrote in October: “Why doesn’t 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? That would accommodate both those who are and aren’t into incest. And of course, the adoption process lets you pick a boy or a girl.”

In another 3,300-word essay titled “Here’s How to Psyche Yourself Up to Feel Entitled to Rape,” Larson writes: “Don’t forget: feminism is the problem, and rape is the solution.” He also used that platform to show his support for father-daughter marriage, killing women and raping virgins. 

Larson also hosted a wiki page called Nathania.org that housed details about his candidacy. It has since gone offline, but it featured posts titled: “A 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,” “Advantages of Father-Daughter Incest” and “The Justifiability of an Incel’s Kidnapping a Girl and Keeping Her as His Rape-Slave for Sex and Babymaking.” 

In another 3,000-word post on this website titled “Let’s Define What Rape Is,” Larson argued: “Women 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 women’s 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.”

Larson confirmed to HuffPost that he wrote these posts and others. 

HuffPost noted that Larson is “less worried about his run for Congress than about his sites coming down.” 

“A lot of people are tired of political correctness and being constrained by it,” he said. “People prefer when there’s an outsider who doesn’t have anything to lose and is willing to say what’s on a lot of people’s minds.”

He continued, “A lot of people who disagreed with someone like Trump … might vote for them anyway just because the establishment doesn’t like them.”
