Sentencing is set for June 10 following court-ordered pre-sentence reports.

  • Prosecutors said the messages used antisemitic, anti-Muslim and anti-Christian language and treated the case as hate crime.
  • The court requested pre-sentence reports on Bradley and scheduled his sentencing for June 10.
  • CPS prosecutor Rebecca Foster said hate crime causes serious harm to victims and communities and vowed continued action with police to prosecute offenders.
