Donavon Parish, 29, of Hattiesburg, Mississippi,
pleaded guilty today to one count of
#cyberstalking and five counts of #abuse and #harassment using a telecommunications device.
Parish also admitted to a special finding that he targeted his victims based on their actual and perceived #religion.
According to court documents, during April and May 2022, the defendant used a voiceover internet protocol service to make a series of phone calls to #synagogues and #Jewish-owned businesses in the Eastern District of Pennsylvania.
In these calls, the defendant spoke to individuals answering the telephone calls on behalf of their respective institutions, at which time he repeatedly referenced the #genocide of approximately six million Jewish people during the Holocaust, stating, among other things,
“Heil Hitler,”
“all Jews must die,”
“we will put you in work camps,”
“gas the Jews” and
“Hitler should have finished the job.”
