Warrant issued for comedian Reginald D. Hunter in private prosecution brought by CAA

A warrant has been issued for Reginald D. Hunter to attend court in relation to a private prosecution brought by Campaign Against Antisemitism.

Mr Hunter is charged with three offences under section 127 of the Communications Act 2003, relating to posts on X that he allegedly published in September 2024.

The first hearing took place today at Westminster Magistrates’ Court, but Mr Hunter failed to appear. A warrant has now been issued for him to attend court on a future date.

Stephen Silverman, Director of Investigations and Enforcement at Campaign Against Antisemitism, said: “This is one of a number of private prosecutions that we are bringing, and there will be more to say on the case in due course.”
