Malakai Wheeler, 18, from Swindon, faces prison for sharing weapons manuals and terrorism documents.
An A-level student has been found guilty of sharing weapons manuals and terrorist documents.
The teenager was also convicted of sharing 92 documents and 35 images in a chatroom, as well as two other charges of sharing instructions for the use of items that could be used to perform acts of terrorism, including smoke grenades. Wheeler said he accessed videos from the terrorist group calling itself Islamic State, which showed people being killed, out of "morbid curiosity", adding: "It's not something you see in every day life."
Wheeler also said he accessed a file called 100 Deadly Skills because he felt they could have been useful - with their descriptions of techniques to escape from a hotel or "stop yourself from drowning if you were tied up in the water".'Deeply entrenched'
