Teens accused of hate crimes released on bail after 4 days in jail
Three teenagers accused of hate-crimes following a verbal confrontation with Orthodox Jews in Monsey have been released from the county jail after their families put up bail, authorities said today.
The three Spring Valley residents had been held since Sunday and released after a state judge lowered their bail on Wednesday from $10,000.
Supreme Court Justice William Kelly set bail at $500 cash for Anthony Soto, 18, and Denise Lopez, 17, on a misdemeanor count of second-degree aggravated harassment as a hate crime.
Kyle Silceira, 16, was released on $1,000 cash bail on the same hate crime charge, plus second-degree menacing.
Silceira and an unnamed 15-year-old boy were accused of possessing an aluminum bat. The 15-year-old boy was released to his family and his case was sent to Rockland Family Court because of his age.
During a confrontation on Neil Road, all four are accused of acting collectively by screaming an epithet to describe Jews and threatening to kill Jews.
They are accused of surrounding a car with a married couple and their three young children, ages 3, 5 and 6, inside.
