A well-known pro-Trump advocate named Ali Alexander, who was active in the “Stop the Steal” movement, was called out for allegedly asking teen boys for sexual images. Now, Alexander is admitting, on his Telegram channel, that he was regretful and apologetic for sending inappropriate messages and having flirtatious conversations with young boys.,
“I apologize for any inappropriate messages sent over the years. When I’ve flirted, or others have flirted with me, I’ve flexed my credentials or dropped corny pickup lines. Other times, I’ve been careless and should’ve qualified those coming up to me’s (sic) identities during flirtatious banter at the start,” Alexander wrote in his statement.
He added that “nothing unlawful has occurred” and that he’s been targeted by “fake accusers or literal honey pots eager to frame me.”You.
In a podcast from March 2023, Aidan Duncan said that Alexander had requested nude images.
Duncan claimed that the activist had asked him to send the pictures to him in 2017 when he was a 15-year-old boy interested in right-wing politics.
At the time, Duncan was a sophomore in high school, and Alexander was a 32-year-old Republican political ally eager to share his contacts if the kid met some cryptic requirements.
“You’ll have [me] sharing my entire network with you,” Alexander told Duncan, according to Snapchat screenshots reviewed by the outlet.
In an exchange with Duncan in September 2017 over a trip Alexander was organizing, the activist allegedly promised to bring Duncan to Yiannopoulos, speculated over whether the teen would be Alexander’s “arm candy,” and suggested that the boy needed to be “entertaining.”
On Thursday, Duncan tweeted: “When I was 15, I was naive and desperate.”
“I thought I had no choice but to cooperate with inappropriate and humiliating requests if I wanted to make it in politics. I figured that was just the nature of the game.”
Additionally, Alexander allegedly urged Lance Johnston, who was 17 at the time, to start sending him pornographic pictures in the summer of 2019.
“Show me ur [eggplant emoji],” Alexander wrote.
“What’s that?” Johnston is quoted as saying in reply.
“Omg d***,” Alexander responded.
Johnston claimed that he declined, instantly blocked him, and screenshot the conversation but was still reluctant to bring up the subject.
Alexander defended himself on a video streaming service when the conversation was made public by a friend of the teen, saying: “You can have any conversation you want with someone who is 17.”
