Johnny Deven Young, a self-identified 'incel,' was sentenced to four years in prison after pleading guilty to multiple hate crimes involving pepper-spraying and harassing women.
This case highlights a troubling trend of hate-driven violence where individuals feel entitled to lash out against those they perceive as their oppressors, in this instance, women.
No one should have to live in fear that they could be indiscriminately attacked and then publicly humiliated on the internet because of their gender, says Orange County D.A. Todd Spitzer.
The online community of 'incels' is notable for its toxic sentiments surrounding women and often promotes dangerous ideologies that encourage violent behavior against them.
