The 31-year-old, also known as Trent Baxter, was charged with sexually touching a woman without consent in September 2023, the ABC reports.

One Nation issued a statement on Friday saying it was aware of the allegations regarding Baxter.

“Today we have been informed Mr Baxter has a warrant in the United Kingdom for failing to appear at a court hearing. This was not disclosed to One Nation by Mr Baxter,” the statement said.

“Mr Baxter is no longer a One Nation candidate as a result of this news.

“One Nation will cooperate fully with law enforcement regarding this matter. We have been unable to contact Mr Baxter.”

Baxter’s profile has been removed from the One Nation website.
