Overview

• Anthony Styles, 59, was convicted in 2017 of indecently assaulting a girl under 14 for a 1993 offence and was jailed for four and a half years, placed on the sex offenders register for life and given an indefinite Sexual Harm Prevention Order.
• He previously admitted in 2012 to assaulting a 17-year-old and to possessing 307 indecent images of children, receiving a three-year community order.
• Operating as AJ Audits, Styles livestreamed demonstrations outside asylum seeker hotels in London and Epping and framed the protests as protecting women and children while building a sizeable online following.
• Stand Up To Racism activists identified him after spotting his real name on a self-made press pass, leading to his ostracism and removal from private protest groups.
• His YouTube channel has stopped posting, and campaigners including Lewis Nielsen of Stand Up To Racism have condemned the situation as deeply hypocritical within the far-right protest movement.
