Cantwell held without bail on federal threatening, extortion charges

By PAUL CUNO-BOOTH Sentinel Staff Jan 23, 2020 Updated 12 min ago

A Keene man facing federal threatening and extortion charges is being held in jail pending a detention hearing Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Concord, according to federal authorities.

Christopher C. Cantwell, 39, a white supremacist radio personality who became nationally known after the 2017 “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville, Va., was arrested early Thursday morning in his home on South Lincoln Street in Keene.

An indictment issued Wednesday alleges he sent someone a threatening message in June via the app Telegram, in an attempt to extract “personally identifying information” about a third party. “Give me Vic, it’s your only out,” Cantwell wrote in the message, after threatening to come to the person’s house and have sex with their wife in front of their kids, according to the indictment.

Cantwell pleaded not guilty Thursday afternoon and was held without bail, according to news reports.
