Kevin Alfred Strom, a major American neo-Nazi leader for almost 20 years, was arrested by federal agents in Virginia Thursday night and charged with possession of child pornography and witness tampering.
Court records indicate federal agents found pornographic pictures had been on Strom's computer hard drive between October 2005 and last August. Strom was also charged with trying to intimidate an unnamed witness against him.

Born in 1956, Strom had already joined the extreme-right John Birch Society before he finished high school. In the late 1970s, he became a follower of William Pierce, founder of the notorious National Alliance neo-Nazi group. In that role, he started a radio show, and became known as the group's second "intellectual," after Pierce, though he was attacked for an allegedly effeminate voice and manner. When Pierce died in 2002, Strom remained with the Alliance for a time, but broke away to form National Vanguard after a 2005 dispute with other Alliance leaders.
Strom's interest in young girls was well known. While living at the Alliance's West Virginia compound in the 1990s, and later, living with his then-wife Kirsten Kaiser in Minnesota, he hosted a website with a huge section devoted to "feminine beauty." In practical terms, that meant he posted dozens of photographs of attractive, very young, white girls, many in bikinis. He was particularly fond of the child actress Brooke Shields, who he ran several photographs of astride a horse.
