A British teenager who had been groomed by an American white supremacist killed herself after being charged with terror offences, an investigation has found.  Rhianan Rudd was groomed and exploited online from the age of 14 by American extremist Christopher Cook.  White supremacist American Dax Mallaburn also had an influence on the teenager after meeting her mother, Emily Carter, via a pen pal system for US prisoners.  Rhianan was arrested and later faced criminal charges which were ultimately dropped because of the abuse. But an investigation found that evidence that Rhianan was being groomed and sexually exploited was handed to MI5 months before she was charged. (…) Rhianan was arrested at the age of 14 in October 2020 after downloading a bomb-making manual and being referred to anti-radicalisation scheme Prevent. The teenager’s mother, Ms Carter, had become so concerned by her daughter’s mindset that she referred her to the Government’s de-radicalisation Prevent scheme. Rhianan was later charged with various offences in April 2021 and accused of plotting an attack.
