A former Pace University student faces hate-crime charges for taking paperback copies of the Koran from the campus library on two occasions last fall and disposing of the Muslim holy book in toilets. Stanislav Shmulevich, a Ukrainian immigrant, was arraigned Sunday in New York Criminal Court on two charges of criminal mischief in the fourth degree as a hate crime. ...
University officials filed a vandalism complaint with police after the first incident on Oct. 12, when ?a copy of the Koran was found in a public toilet? at the Manhattan campus that ?was covered in feces.? A second copy of the Koran was found in a toilet Nov. 21. When questioned by police, Mr. Shmulevich, 23, ?admitted to committing said acts? and ?that he committed the acts out of anger toward a group of Muslim students with whom he had had a recent disagreement,? the criminal complaint said.
?We reported it initially as an act of vandalism, then the police hate-crime unit came over and decided to pursue it as a hate crime,? said Chris Corey, Pace University spokesman, adding that he was ?not at liberty? to discuss the investigation or how Mr. Shmulevich was implicated.
