FILE - Patrick Dai 's mugshot, and authorities at the 104 West dining hall at Cornell University after Dai allegedly made threats online against the building. Syracuse, N.Y. — Patrick Dai , the Cornell University student from Pittsford accused of making antisemitic and threatening comments against Jewish students, was sentenced Monday to 21 months in prison.
Judge Brenda Sannes said Dai "substantially disrupted campus activity" and committed a hate crime when he posted threatening statements online. These two factors led to a federal sentencing of 27-33 months. However, when considering Dai's diagnosis of autism, his mental health struggles and his non-violent history, the judge sentenced him to 21 months, not including the 10 months he has already served.
Dai was emotional at sentencing, acknowledging his actions were wrong and apologizing. His defense team will likely appeal the sentencing.
