Hate crimes profoundly impact victims and are toxic to our community that strives to be a safe haven that is open and welcoming to all people."
Benjamin was arraigned on April 19th. He is currently out of custody and required to stay away from the victims and the SFMTA Muni 38 and 38R lines.Prosecutors said the hate crime charges were filed in this case because there was evidence that the crimes were motivated by animus towards people of Asian descent.
