"The victims were met with both violence and harassment simply because of who they are. Hate crimes strike at the core of our city's values and sense of safety."
"Stora's punch knocked the woman to the ground and caused pain and swelling on the left side of her head, prosecutors said. Months earlier, prosecutors said, Stora elbowed a 17-year-old student in the neck and said, 'You people think you can do whatever you want,' using a curse word."
"A New York state court judge on Wednesday found Skiboky Stora guilty of assaulting, stalking and harassing strangers in what prosecutors described as a series of anti-female, anti-white, and antisemitic incidents between 2023 and 2024."
Skiboky Stora, a 42-year-old Brooklyn resident, was found guilty of assault, stalking, and harassment charges involving multiple victims targeted for their race, religion, and gender. The conviction stemmed from incidents occurring between 2023 and 2024, including a widely publicized March 2024 assault on a 23-year-old woman that was shared on TikTok. Prosecutors presented video evidence of Stora harassing a Jewish couple and recordings of him shouting at white people. Despite representing himself and denying the charges, the court determined the attacks were motivated by anti-female, anti-white, and antisemitic bias. Stora was remanded into custody pending sentencing scheduled for April 14.
