A Melbourne neo-Nazi leader will avoid facing trial after pleading guilty to a violent attack on a group of hikers at a Victorian state park.
, and co-offender Jacob Hersant, 24, fronted the County Court of Victoria via video link on Tuesday where they both pleaded guilty to a charge of violent disorder.The pair had been due to face trial next week over an attack on three bushwalkers who filmed Sewell and Hersant’s group as they gathered at the Cathedral Ranges State Park at Taggerty on May 8, 2021.
During an earlier hearing, the court heard that some members of the group were wearing balaclavas when the trio were set upon and terrorised at the Victorian camping spot, before demands were made for their mobile phones.When Sewell applied for bail over the matter in 2021, police told the court the 30-year-old publicly described himself as a “political soldier for the white race and Adolf Hitler is my leader”, and that he adheres to neo-Nazi ideology and believes he is in a “race war”.
