Leaders of far-right group Britain First were on Wednesday found guilty of committing hate crimes.

Paul Golding, the group's leader, and Jayda Fransen, the deputy, were arrested after distributing leaflets and posting online videos during a rape trial.

Fransen was convicted of three counts of religiously aggravated harassment. Golding was found guilty of one charge, the BBC reported.

The judge told the court their words and actions "demonstrated hostility" toward Muslims. They have yet to be sentenced.

Last November, U.S. President Donald Trump retweeted three videos posted by Fransen that were critical of Muslims.

“It is wrong for the president to have done this,” a spokesman for U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May said at the time, saying Britain First uses "hate-filled narratives to peddle lies and stoke tensions."

London Mayor Sadiq Khan said after Trump’s retweets that Britain should not welcome a visit from the president.

In a January interview, Trump denied he had been promoting Britain First as an organization.

“I don’t know who they are, I know nothing about them, so I wouldn’t be doing that,” he said. “I am the least racist person that anyone is going to meet. Certainly I wasn’t endorsing anybody … It was done because I am a big believer in fighting radical Islamic terror. It was a big story where you are — but it was not where I am. So you’re telling me something.”
