NH political activist accused of sexually assaulting teen at libertarian festival

A New Hampshire libertarian activist, author and former Republican state representative candidate is accused of sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl at a libertarian festival in 2022.

Elliot “Alu” Axelman, 31, of Hooksett, is facing four charges of sexual assault, two simple assaults and one false imprisonment for an incident that allegedly took place in June 2022 at the Porcupine Freedom Festival, known as “Porcfest.”

The festival is an annual week-long libertarian celebration hosted by the Free State Project, a movement of thousands of libertarians in search for more freedom, at Roger’s Campground in Lancaster, NH.

According to the Lancaster police incident report, the victim said she was hanging out with friends at Porcfest on June 25, 2022. The report details that when it got dark, she said she was separated from her friends and tried to find her parents. The victim said her phone was dead so she was not able to call them, according to the report. During her search, she said she ran into Axelman, who she described as a “family friend.”

What does that even mean?

Apparently, Axelman thought his freedom involved sexually assaulting a teenager who trusted him, since he’s a family friend!
