Felony sex assault charges added against Muslim CT lawmaker's suspected attacker
Fox News
Felony charges, including attempted sexual assault, have been levied against Andrey Desmond, the suspect in an attack on Democratic Connecticut state Rep. Maryam Khan.
"It continues to be a mystery to me why the state isn’t bringing bias crimes in this type of incident," said Farhan Memon, chairman of the Connecticut chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations. "Having this charged as a bias crime sends a message out to the rest of the population that this is going to be something that’s dealt with seriously."
Hartford State's Attorney Sharmese Walcott did not return messages seeking comment about the case and the demand to file hate crime allegations.
