NY Men Plead Guilty to Threats, Harassment

Two New York men have pleaded guilty in separate federal cases involving threats and harassment. Kevin Delgado, 40, admitted to transmitting threats in interstate commerce against Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel because of her religion and perceived sexual orientation, with sentencing scheduled for September 2025 and a maximum possible sentence of five years. Elijah Whyte, 30, pleaded guilty to making repeated harassing communications to a Connecticut resident, including 1,330 text messages, 72 phone calls, and three voicemails between August and October 2023, many of which threatened violence against the victim and their family. Whyte has been detained since October 2023 and faces up to two years in prison, with sentencing set for August 2025. Both cases underscore the federal commitment to prosecuting individuals who threaten or harass others, particularly public officials and vulnerable individuals.
