A 40-year-old man who once ran for a Virginia delegate seat has been arrested in connection with the kidnapping of a 12-year-old California girl he met online, law enforcement officials said.

Nathan Daniel Larson, of Catlett, Virginia, was arrested earlier this week at Denver International Airport during a layover from Fresno, California, as he was heading to home to Virginia with the girl, according to the Fresno County Sheriff's Office.

Larson was being held in Denver County Jail and faces felony charges in Fresno for kidnapping, child abduction, soliciting child pornography from a minor and meeting a child for the intention of sex. He is scheduled to appear in court Dec. 24.

The 12-year-old girl, who had been reported missing, was reunited with her family and was not injured, the sheriff's office said.

It was unclear whether Larson was represented by an attorney.

Known White Supremacist, Pedophilia Advocate, Nathan Larson Arrested At DIA

By Danielle ChaviraDecember 19, 2020 at 11:58 pm

DENVER (CBS4) – Denver police arrested a white supremacist at Denver International Airport after they found him with a 12-year-old girl from Fresno, California on Dec. 14. Fresno authorities say Nathan Larson, 40, convinced the girl to leave her home in the middle of the night and fly with him back to his home in Catlett, Virginia.

The girl was reported missing on the morning of Dec. 14. Investigators say Larson made the girl wear a wig to avoid being seen and to act like she had a disability and couldn’t speak so no one would talk to her.

Larson and the girl stopped in Denver for a layover. He was then arrested, and the child was rescued and returned to her family that night. Larson is behind bars in Denver awaiting extradition to Fresno.

Detectives in Virginia and agents from Homeland Security searched his home. They say the suspect’s father, Arther Larson, 69, hit an agent and was arrested, but later released from jail.

To express my rage for him n others like him. All the way to California for a 12 year old girl. After Virginia gets thru with him, let California have their turn. Maybe it will take the rest of his life to serve his sentence.

On Dec. 14, the Fresno County Sheriff’s Office and Fresno Police received a report that the girl went missing, said spokesman Tony Botti. Detectives found that the girl may have been coerced into running away with an older man she had met through social media in mid-October.

A federal judge will allow accused kidnapper and pedophile Nathan Larson to defend himself against charges he kidnapped a 12-year-old girl from Fresno because he intended to sexually assault her.

In a hearing Friday, United States District Judge Jennifer L. Thurston granted Nathan Larson’s request to serve as his own defense attorney.
