Alexis Cabezas, 34, a Richmond Hill resident, was arraigned on a criminal complaint charging him with second-degree aggravated harassment (hate crime), acting in a manner injurious to a child under the age of 17, and second-degree harassment. According to court records, Cabezas was released on his own recognizance and ordered to return to court in December.
