EASTON, Pa. — A 14-year-old white student accused of making a racist video of a black student that was shared on social media will be prosecuted on charges of ethnic intimidation and harassment, a prosecutor said Tuesday.
District Attorney John Morganelli said he was authorizing charging the boy in juvenile court but expects the boy will be given a form of probation that, if completed, would result in dropping the case.
The student recorded a high school student eating chicken wings and, in narrating the piece, refers repeatedly to the black student with a racial slur and obscenity and describes him as “being broke and on welfare” and getting free food. Morganelli called it “reprehensible.”
The black 16-year-old student was earlier accused of assaulting the white student in retaliation.
