TikToker Daniel Larson faces prison after guilty plea in federal case

Daniel Larson pleads guilty in federal bomb threat case, facing up to five years in prison under plea deal terms

TikToker Daniel Larson has pleaded guilty in federal court to charges related to a series of online bomb threats, according to court documents filed in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado.

The case centres on social media posts made by Larson between mid-2023 and early 2024, in which prosecutors say he issued threats targeting buildings and a federal law enforcement officer. Some of the posts allegedly referenced high-profile locations, including the White House, prompting law enforcement responses and evacuations in certain instances.

Court filings reviewed by sources including Dexerto confirm that Larson entered his guilty plea on April 9, 2026, admitting to one count of transmitting threats in interstate commerce. In return, prosecutors agreed to dismiss multiple additional counts connected to the same conduct.

Under the plea agreement, the government will not oppose a request for a sentence of time served. Larson has reportedly been in custody since April 30, 2024. The charge carries a maximum sentence of up to five years in prison, along with supervised release and potential financial penalties reaching $250,000. Sentencing guidelines estimate a range of 27 to 33 months, though the final decision will be made by a federal judge.

Larson also waived most of his rights to appeal, including the right to a jury trial, and agreed to forfeit property connected to the investigation, including a seized mobile phone. He acknowledged in court documents that his plea was voluntary and that the facts presented by prosecutors were accurate.

Sentencing is expected at a later date.
