A New York City man with a criminal record that includes sexual assault has been charged after prosecutors say he posted online threats to kill Jews, members of the New York City Police Department and government officials.
Nathan White, 54, was arraigned in Queens Supreme Court on Monday on charges of making a terroristic threat as a hate crime, making a terroristic threat and second-degree aggravated harassment, according to Queens District Attorney Melinda Katz.
Prosecutors say the charges stem from a series of threatening texts White made on his X account in November.

White was arrested by the NYPD on Nov. 10, according to Katz. White was homeless and living in a men’s shelter when he was arrested, the New York Post reported.
“As alleged, the defendant used his social media accounts to issue threats against Jewish and Israeli New Yorkers, in addition to members of the NYPD and law enforcement,” Katz said in a statement.
“At a time when antisemitic vitriol is rising at an alarming rate, we know that hate speech often escalates into real world violence. This defendant has been charged with a hate crime and I thank our law enforcement partners at the NYPD for their work on this case,” the district attorney added.
