A neo-Nazi accused of intimidating a police officer online has described the charges laid against him as false shortly after his bail was extended.

Thomas Sewell, 31, faced charges in the Melbourne Magistrates Court related to intimidating a police officer and violating several personal safety intervention orders. These charges followed police raids on the National Socialist Network in November.

Sewell, who represented himself, was accompanied by six people, dressed in black with the group’s insignia displayed on their shoulders.

Despite being listed as a three-day contested hearing today, the case was adjourned after prosecutor Louis Andrews flagged issues with a key witness.

Andrews requested the case be adjourned for at least four weeks after an issue arose with the witness over the weekend.

Sewell expressed concern about the delay, telling Magistrate Michelle Hodgson that he wished to speed up this process.

The stop-start hearing lasted several hours, as Sewell pushed to press ahead.

Magistrate Hodgson approved a request to delay the proceedings, emphasizing that the witness was crucial to the prosecution. However, a brief adjournment of two weeks was scheduled.

Sewell previously waived his rights of seeking further legal advice and successfully fast-tracked his case, which is now scheduled for September 1.

Details of the alleged offending were not read in court.

His bail was extended with conditions.

Speaking outside court, Sewell revealed a warrant is out for his arrest following an alleged assault at a march he attended on August 9.
